The housing market is seeing a rise in sales. National new home construction in May was up 34.9 percent from May of 2020, and existing home sales are continuing to rise (pdf).
One couple in St. Peters, Missouri, opened up about their personal experience putting their house on the market and just how quickly properties are being sold. The Handleys have lived in their house for ten years and have two young daughters, a 5-year-old and a 3-month-old infant. When asked why they decided to sell, Mr. Handley told The Epoch Times: “Because we have plans to move out in the countryside, regardless, and the market is hot.”
