Sales of existing homes in the country broke new records, spurred by ultra-low mortgage rates and after a three-month slump earlier this year during coronavirus pandemic lock downs.Home buyers snapped up a dwindling supply of houses in July, leading to a 24.7 percent increase in the number of homes sold over the previous month.The July 2020 surge in purchases reported Friday by the National Association of Realtors marked the second straight month of accelerating sales. June had reached its own high mark, with a more than 20 percent increase in sales over May.Existing homes are defined as single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops.With July’s increase, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.86 million, purchases are now up 8.7% from a year ago. In July 2019, there were 5.39 million sales.“The housing market is well past the recovery phase and is now booming with higher home sales compared to the pre-pandemic days,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “With the sizable shift in remote work, current homeowners are looking for larger homes and this will lead to a secondary level of demand even into 2021.”Total housing inventory at the end of July totaled 1.5 million units, a year ago there were 1.9 million available units.“More homes need to be built,” Yun said in a statement on NAR’s website.Properties are staying on the market for an average of 22 days. This is down from 24 days in June, and 29 days in July 2019.Individual investors or second-home buyers, who account for many cash sales, purchased 15% of homes in July, up from both 9% in June 2020 and from 11% in July 2019.The percentage of first-time home buyers was slightly down in July. 1695

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, well kind of. Cities across the U.S. still may be trying to deck the halls, but a COVID-19 Christmas just looks and feels different.For people of faith, a season full of worship and togetherness will be missed."They do feel isolated," said GlenRoy Watson, a bishop with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.Watson’s congregation is made up of about 100 families."Normally at Christmas, we'd eat dinner and hang out and have a Christmas presentation," he said.This year, religious celebrations need to be held at home, but he had an idea."I'm just hoping that everyone will learn a little bit more about each one another and just continue to feel united," Watson said.He asked all families in his congregation to make a home video about their traditions or fond holiday memories to share with each other."It will be kind of like a mini movie," he said."For our Christmas tradition we read the story of Jesus Christ," congregation member Denise Cordero said as she sat with her young daughter by their Christmas tree and spoke to her iPhone camera.For church piano player VerLynn Brink, playing Christmas hymns for everyone at her church is what she will miss most."This is one of my favorite memories of Christmas," she said as she recorded a video on her phone while playing her piano. "I had one of my favorite memories of Christmas in France.”Now, she plays for an audience of one."It’ been a challenge, but I’ve tried to make a point every day to call somebody just so I feel connected," Brink said.She said she is looking forward to the virtual viewing party in the days ahead.At the McGuire home, they are trying to keep the magic of Christmas alive while still focusing on their faith."With this year being a little bit different, we have started some new traditions," Drew McGuire said.The family said they miss meeting with their church family more than ever."This year, I feel like a lot of people have struggled with things and there hasn’t been a lot to feel hopeful about these days," McGuire said.They hope the family video they’re making will help brighten others' days."Merry Christmas everyone," the family said in unison on their video recording.As the videos came pouring in to GlenRoy Watson, it's his family’s turn to record their own video."We love celebrating and learning more about the nativity," Watson said as he smiled at his family.So, even if most families' Christmas celebrations will take place on a living room couch instead of a church pew, the message is the same."We love our savior, Jesus Christ and we still care and support each other even if we can't all be together," Watson said. 2707

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A class-action lawsuit has been filed against Legoland and its parent company for allegedly not providing refunds after the Carlsbad theme park was closed to the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic.The suit was filed Monday in San Diego federal court on behalf of Los Angeles County resident Joyce Case against Merlin Entertainments Limited, which operates Legoland, Tussauds Hollywood, Tussauds San Francisco, the San Francisco Dungeon and Legoland Florida.The suit alleges Case purchased tickets to Legoland for a March 21 trip and ended up "one of the many consumers stuck with tickets to a canceled event who has been unable to obtain a refund," according to the complaint.Legoland representatives could not immediately be reached for comment.RELATED:San Diego Zoo hopes to reopen in 'coming weeks' under new limitsSan Diego cleared to reopen zoos, gyms, bars and wineries, day campsSan Diego theme parks aim for July 1 reopeningThe suit seeks refunds for all customers who paid for tickets, memberships and vacation packages that have since been canceled due to COVID- 19, and damages to compensate customers "for the loss of use of their money during a time when cash is at a premium for the many families targeted by Defendants that are struggling to get by."The complaint states that the terms and conditions of agreements to purchase tickets to Legoland and other Merlin Entertainments Parks hold that if events are canceled, refunds must be paid."Closing of these venues, and cancellation of these events, should have meant that ticketholders were promptly refunded their money -- money that in many cases was very much needed for other purposes," the complaint states. "But that did not happen for customers, who bought tickets, memberships, and vacation packages for Defendants' attractions. Instead, Defendants failed to honor and perform their duties, responsibilities, and obligations under their uniform standardized agreements with their customers, thereby breaching their contracts, but nonetheless pocketed their customers' money and converted it for their own use."A similar class-action lawsuit was filed against SeaWorld last month in San Diego federal court. In that suit, SeaWorld is accused of continuing to charge monthly membership fees to customers during the park's closure. 2329

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KGTV) — California’s Senate has approved a measure to increase the scrutiny of hunting licenses used in gun sales, prompted by last year’s fatal shooting at a Poway synagogue. Senate Bill 914, introduced by Democratic Sen. Anthony Portantino, would require gun stores and the state Department of Justice to both check the validity of hunting licenses during a waiting period after gun buyers purchase a weapon and before they pick it up. The bill will now head to the state Assembly.SB 914 comes after a 10News investigation uncovered that the 19-year-old shooting suspect bought the gun used in the attack at a shop in San Diego using an invalid hunting license. 10NEWS INVESTIGATIONS ON POWAY SHOOTING:New bill aims to correct error that allowed Poway suspect to buy gunQuestions about how the synagogue shooting suspect got the gunProcess to get a hunting license in CaliforniaThe suspect, 19 at the time of the shooting, used that invalid hunting license to claim an exemption to a state law that raised the minimum purchase age to 21.California's age limit law, a bill Portantino authored in 2018, kept the minimum purchase age at 18 for military, law enforcement, and those with valid state-issued hunting licenses."The system should have been better, and that's what we're coming to grips with," Portantino said in an interview with 10News reporter Jon Horn. "How do we make it better, so these things have protections so that it doesn't happen again?"The Associated Press contributed to this report. 1535
