Home sales made an unexpected 10.1 percent jump in October, taking the annual rate up to 6.1 million homes from 5.54 million in September, the Wall Street Journal reports. The rise continues a gradual upward trend in sales of existing homes fueled by a generous tax incentive that Congress recently extended to April 2010.

Regionally, sales in October, compared to the previous month, rose 11.6 percent in the Northeast, 14.4 percent in the Midwest, 12.7 percent in the South and 1.6 percent in the West.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
