Redfin CEO expects 'absolutely insane' demand in housing market to last into 2021
The CEO of real estate brokerage Redfin told CNBC on Thursday he anticipates the coronavirus pandemic-driven boom in the housing market will persist into next year. Existing home sales increased 9.4% in September, surpassing expectations, and the median purchase price rose nearly 15% year over year, according to data released earlier Thursday by the National Association of Realtors. "There's no way it can last forever. This level of demand is absolutely insane. I would expect it to last into 2021, at least," Glenn Kelman of Redfin said on "Power Lunch." "There are so many people now who have decided they're not going to be able to buy a home by year-end, who expect to do so going into 2021, especially as their kids shift school districts. I do think we're going to see this for some time." The demand for housing is primarily being driven by affluent professionals who are able to work remotely, Kelman said. That has given them the option of moving out of major metropolitan areas into more distant suburbs or, he said, buying vacation homes "and then taking a permanent vacation where they're working from those homes." Low interest rates are also motivating homebuyers, Kelman said.

"It was a very rough summer, the most difficult summer I've ever had professionally for sure, but sometimes through those most difficult moments you understand what really matters, and actions matter," she said. "I'm thankful for the push we got because I think it's making us better."

Senior US official accuses China of aiding North Korea cyber thefts
WASHINGTON (REUTERS) - A senior US justice official accused China on Thursday of helping North Korea launder money from massive cyber thefts it has carried out to raise funds in the face of international sanctions. At an event hosted by a Washington think tank, John Demers, the assistant attorney general for national security, also said North Korea was likely getting support from China in the form of cyber expertise and training. "The other thing... that really pops out of our cases...is the involvement of China in helping the North Koreans evade the sanctions... in helping them launder money that they have somehow gotten or that they want to bring into the regime, or that they've stolen and otherwise, helping them sort of move goods," Demers said. "There is support through Chinese cyber infrastructure, there's likely support in terms of sharing expertise and training from the Chinese side," he added in the event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Demers said those involved in violating Chinese-backed international sanctions imposed on North Korea over its nuclear and missile programmes included unscrupulous private individuals and businesses. "But probably the biggest issue is going to be
