Forward though.
And higher costs in healthcare, thanks to Obamacare. They forgot that part.

(Reuters) - Sales of new U.S. single-family homes tumbled to their lowest level in eight months in March, dealing a setback to the housing market recovery.
The Commerce Department said on Wednesday sales dropped 14.5 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 384,000 units, declining for a second consecutive month.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast new home sales at a 450,000-unit pace last month.
Compared to March last year, sales were down 13.3 percent, the largest year-on-year decline since April 2011.

The housing market has been slammed by an unusually cold and snowy winter, higher mortgage interest rates and a shortage of properties that is limiting options for potential buyers.

Yet auto sales and retail are up.
I honestly wouldn't worry too much about housing. Sales seemed inflated in 2013.

I was just talking to a colleague yesterday and he told me that they are having bidding wars over housing in Denver, CO.
Everyone is moving there for the Mary Jane law.

Weather definitely was a factor, I believe you will see the multi-family sector lead housing starts this year by a long shot

Massive number of empty homes nationwide. Banks are holding on to inventory so they don't flood the market. This according to my friend who's a foreclosure defense lawyer.
