What conclusions are we to take from this report? We are not in a free-fall, but real estate has cooled slightly off the frenetic pace we were on for the past couple of years. We are certainly not looking at another 2008, and for good reason. There is plenty of equity in existing homes and inventory is just not plentiful enough to satisfy the demand.
