  2. Home sales increase 6-7 percent while home prices increase 3-4 percent. 
  3. Inventory of for-sale homes will hit bottom. 
  4. Higher-priced listings begin to sell more. 
  5. The number of distressed properties continues to drop. 
  6. The shadow inventory continues to fall. 
  7. Short sales rise, reaching a peak. 
  8. Mortgage rates rise slightly by year's end from record lows.
