Single Family Home Sales Surge, Consumer Spending and Supply Chain Volume Follows

The Department of Commerce reported new single family home sales in the U.S. in September increased 5.7 percent from August to a seasonally adjusted 389,000-unit annual rate, the highest level since April 2010.

The real estate marketplace correlates increasing home sale volumes with higher existing home values (and often a new construction boost). Economics indicates a tie between increasing home equity and consumer spending confidence. Those involved in the country’s consumer marketplace, and their supply chain, see benefit from this fortuitous reaction.

Cost control becomes a profitability focus; the country’s economic recovery (?), again leaning on economists for their expertise, indicate a drawn-out process dependent on domestic/global challenges, known and unknown, over a number of upcoming fiscal quarters. Supply chain operators – control what you can – remove unnecessary costs (inefficient rout options, freight bill errors leading to overlooked overpayments). Utilize a carrier-neutral source to provide you with related cost reduction services. No pain, just profit. Data2Logistics has the knowledge and expertise in this area.
