1. Everyone will focus of the two-day Federal Reserve meeting, with results announced Wednesday.
2. Realtors’ Pending Sales Index, out Wednesday, gives a snapshot of what house hunters are thinking.
3. Are developers making big bucks? Watch earnings at homebuilders this week from D.R. Horton, WCI Communities and AV Homes
4. How are apartments faring? See this week’s profit news at landlords AvalonBay, Equity Residential and Essex
5. Case-Shiller home-price indexes, out Tuesday, get media buzz … but mean very little.
