Scot Bertram, Home sales are on the rise

Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — President Biden says the ICC arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is outrageous.  The International Criminal Court issued warrants on Thursday for Netanyahu and his former defense secretary Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes in the Gaza Strip.  

Two ---- Gaza protestors have filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Detroit for violating their right to free speech.  A group called the "Ceasefire Choir" sang for peace and an end to the war in Gaza in 2023 and January 2024 at Campus Martius Park and were told by security they had to leave.  The city is not commenting on the lawsuit and says they will respond in court. 

And number three — Home sales are up. According to the National Association of Realtors, sales of previously owned homes went up three-point-four percent from September to October. That's also nearly three-percent higher than October 2023. It's the first annual increase in more than three years.
