Improving transit access to a neighborhood does not lead to a significant decrease in minority populations, even as incomes and rents rise faster than similar neighborhoods without convenient transit.

U.S. home-sale prices increased 4.6 percent year over year in September to a median of $308,800 across the 217 metros Redfin tracks.

Twenty-six percent of Redfin.com home searchers looked to move to another metro area in the third quarter of 2019, compared to 25 percent during the same period last year.

Fewer than one in 10 homes for sale last year were affordable to African American households in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Denver and Boston.

Nationally, just 11 percent of Redfin offers faced a bidding war in September, down from 41 percent a year earlier, but up slightly from the eight-year low of 10 percent set in August.
