Unsold inventory in the two biggest housing markets in the country, Texas and Florida, declined this week. There are fewer homes for sale now than a week ago. Inventory seems to have peaked for the season and is slowly inching down. There appears to be two reasons we’re seeing a seasonal peak in unsold inventory now, when last year inventory in these states didn’t peak until the end of November.  First, mortgage rates are falling, whereas last year they were rising. We may finally be on the other side of that slope, making for better dynamics for potential homebuyers. There…

Richard Kind tells me that on his first day in New York in October 1978, he actually was witness to the aftermath of a very famous murder. A few years later, he lived down the block from All State Café, where another famous murder took place. (Both were made into movies.) As one of the newest cast members on this season’s Only Murders in the Building, a show about murders in New York City, this all seems fitting, if maybe a little too fitting. I spoke to Kind about those early days in New York, when he worked as a…
