The housing recovery closed up shop in December as year-over-year sales dropped from 9.4 percent to 6.4 percent above levels of a year ago and threaten to end the year only a meager 5 percent above sales in December 2012.
The latest weekly data from Dataquick shows that the 30-day average sales on Christmas Eve fell for second week in a row and prices, though sagging since the first week of the month, remained in the double digits above 2012.
