Color me confused. In an article about disappointing U.S. home sales figures, the author put the following two sentences in sequence:
"Existing home sales are counted at the closing of contracts and March's sales reflected contracts signed in January and February, when the country was in the grip of an unusually cold and snowy winter.
Home resales rose in the Northeast and Midwest, but fell in the West and South."
He is either clueless or incredibly sarcastic.
