## Resource

In this episode of Real Estate Jerky Daily, Ed Parcaut and Mike Kelly break down stronger-than-expected pending home sales, a sharp jump in national inventory, and the way oil and global uncertainty are hammering mortgage pricing again. They also cover ADP private-sector job growth, the limits of unemployment benefits for laid-off workers, local market pacing, and why sellers still need to price their homes correctly if they want them sold. It is another fast-moving daily update packed with housing data, mortgage perspective, and the straight talk Real Estate Jerky listeners expect.
