Sales Climb as U.S. Housing Market Adjusts to Rates: Economy


Sales of previously owned homes climbedin December for the first time in five months, capping the best year since 2006 and indicating the real-estate market is starting to adjust to higher borrowing costs.



Purchases rose 1 percent to a 4.87 million annual pace, the National Association of Realtors reported today in Washington. Other reports showed claims for jobless benefits held last week near the lowest level in more than a month and the index of leading indicators climbed in December.



Faster employment growth, rising property values and a decline in consumer debt are giving would-be buyers the confidence to take the plunge into homeownership. Growing demand will also spur new construction and home improvements that will boost gross domestic product in 2014.



“We’ll see better job growth, a better housing market and better overall GDP growth throughout 2014,” said Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services Group Inc., among the biggest mortgage lenders in the U.S. It “will be another year of recovery for the housing market with more sales, more homes constructed and prices up.”

Binge on the Design of 'House of Cards'


So, ’fess up: Who else binged on all of season two of House of Cards on Netflix this past weekend? Once I started, I couldn’t stop. Don’t worry; you won’t find any spoiler alerts here. I will only say a theme of ruthless pragmatism continues through the entire season. As I watched all of the merciless machinations of Frank and Claire Underwood and their adversaries, I also took careful notice of the subdued sets and fashion choices — every one was made with the same kind of cunning. If you’ve got your own thick political plot brewing, make sure you’ve got a window perch where you can share a smoke with your partner in crime, and follow these tips.
