Construction Costs Rise for Apartment Projects

  • "The cost of materials important to the construction of apartments rose 3.6 percent over the year that ended in September, according to the producer price index from the Bureau of Labor Statistics."

Home Sales Remained Sluggish in October

  • "It would take just 3.9 months to exhaust the supply of homes on the market, the lowest October reading since 1999, the year NAR started tracking the data."
  • "The supply shortage, in turn, is driving prices higher. The median price of homes sold last month rose to $247,000, up 5.5% from a year earlier."
  • "Home sales are currently 'significantly below the potential of the market,' said Mark Fleming, chief economist at title insurer First American. He estimates sales should be more than 7% higher today based on easing credit standards, low interest rates, high employment and income growth."
