I was at this presentation. I think what Dr Yun was pointing out was the ways that the media presents some of the data is simplified. There appears to be a great contradiction between what the numbers indicate and the way consumers are responding, it's a hard trend to parse. What I found particularly notable is the lower numbers of first time homebuyers in 2011 and the dramatic drop in the formation of new households. Dr. Yun referred to the lower number of new household formation as a coiled spring which seems to hold some promise for the future.
