More signs the U-S housing market is on an upswing. The National Association of Realtors says sales of previously owned homes jumped nearly eight percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of nearly five-million units last month.
Bloomberg's Businessweek reports that's the fastest annual rate since May 2010.
Nationwide, the median price for a home resale rose to more than 187-thousand dollars in August... up nine-and-a-half percent from a year ago.
