Losing Body Fat %

Good morning everyone. I have been tracking my weight and body fat % via an at home scale for a few weeks now and had a concern I was hoping someone would know the answer to. I always wake up on Saturday, use the restroom, and then weigh. No food or drink has been consumed since the previous evening and the scale is marked with tape on the ground for where it should be (in case it gets moved) so my conditions should be the same. My past few check ins have gone like this:
Date Pounds % Fat Pounds of Fat
5.24.14 245.6 36.10% 88.6616
5.31.14 245.2 36.10% 88.5172
6.14.14 241.2 36.00% 86.832
6.21.14 240.4 33.40% 80.2936
What I'm curious about is the sudden 2.6% drop in body fat. I've confirmed on the scale that my hydration level is within .2% of what it has been on all other weigh ins. Does anyone have some insight as to if this could be accurate? Has my body played catch up from the previous weeks? Thanks for the help.

The home body fat scales are just not that accurate I'm afraid.
That's all it'll be!0
