Housing sales
Home sales from July through September were up and so were prices over the same period last year. That’s in part because 17 percent fewer homes are for sale, creating a seller’s market that drives up prices. The low inventory means homes are also going fast—with an average of just 62 days on the market, 10 percent less than during the same period in 2015. The average list price from July through September was $220,674.
