NAR Index of pending home sales - Rose 7.3% in Nov = climbs to 19-month high since April 2010

[mEDITate-OR
assume this is not one of messiest RE reports, ever...
---------
While NAR did, finally, adjust its "sales" report, to eliminate some "problems"
they did not adjust this "pending" sales report.
Why?
The same MLS overlap that was such a problem for final RE "sales"
it taken from the same MLSs - so, what is different.
--------
Far more serious is the report by Lawler on Calculated Risk
that the "adjustments" that WERE made were "all over the map"
literally and figuratively =
massive shifts where there probably were none
and
almost no shifts where their HAD to be a large one.
