Existing-home sales rose 1.5% in September to an annual rate of 3.99 million. Supply reached 4.8 months, up from 4.5 a year ago. The median price was $417,500, up 1.3%. Why it matters for operators: More supply can mean longer listings. Base your resale price on current local comps, not last year's.
