PHOTOS: 8 Cities Where Home Prices PLUNGED In The Last Year

If you're still reeling from today's grim data from the National Association of Realtors, which reported that sales of previously-occupied homes fell to a 15-year low, you're not alone.

In fact, according to Calculated Risk, there's 12.5 months of housing supply in the market, more than double the supply seen in a typical market.

In comments to the AP, Paul Dales, U.S. economist with Capital Economics, put it this way: "With the increasingly inevitable double-dip in prices yet to come, things could yet get a lot worse."
