What’s New? A new National Association of Realtors report shows that only 4% of all homebuyers visited open houses as their first step in the purchase process. 5% of buyers over 65 used an open house as their first step, but only 2% of buyers between 18 and 24 did the same — suggesting the practice may have less appeal to future generations of buyers.

What’s New? Hiring in the USA jumped in November to its highest level since January as employers shrugged off global trade conflicts and added 266,000 jobs. The unemployment rate declined to 3.5% from 3.6% in October, matching a half-century low. And wages rose a solid 3.1% in November compared with a year earlier. The average compensation for CEOs of the 350 largest U.S. firms was $14 million in 2018, up 9.9% from $12.7 million in 2017 and up 29.4% since the recovery began in 2009. The median household wage is up from $57,010 in 2009 to $63,179 in 2018, a 10.8% increase.
