Ending a six-month run of spiraling demand, sales of existing homes in the US contracted in November. It's being read as a signal that rising prices and historically low supply is finally slowing the housing market's rally. According to Business Insider, the National Association of Realtors says home sales fell 2.5% last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.69 million. The median price for existing homes fell to a six-month low as well, dipping month-over-month to $310,800 from $313,100. Even so, the pace is still up 25.8% from the year-ago period.
The United States' 2020 general election is on track to shatter all previous records for voter turnout. According to Business Insider, nearly 140 million votes have already been counted, exceeding 2016's record-breaking 137.1 million votes. The 2020 total is only expected to soar in the coming hours and days. That's because votes, whether in-person or absentee, continue to be counted across the country. Wednesday, battleground states like North Carolina and Pennsylvania remained undecided. Large states such as California and Texas hadn't yet reported all results. However, by midday on Wednesday, Democrat Joe Biden led President Donald Trump by almost 3 million votes.
