The housing market is cooling fast. Are you ready?

-Resale prices are down compared to one year ago in 53 of 150 markets we track, with declines spreading beyond Texas and Florida.

-New home prices, including builder concessions and incentives, have fallen -1.5% versus last year as builders have been caught with too many completed, unsold homes for the first time in many years.
