“Spring thaw: we told would-be sellers this year to wait for higher prices. No one will say that in 2013, which will be the first year in seven starting with a broad consensus that prices will rise. After 18 months of fewer and fewer homes for sale, the trend will reverse.”

WTF does this mean? Higher prices in 2013, not higher prices in 2013, higher prices in 2013, not higher prices in 2013. Crystal ball got a little foggy here.
