More home sellers than buyers are active in the U.S. housing market, with sellers outnumbering buyers by 63 percent. This shift is due to higher mortgage rates and economic concerns, causing fewer people to buy homes while more people try to sell.

The number of buyers dropped to its lowest since 2013, with about 928,892 buyers last month.
Sellers reached their highest level since March 2020, with over 1.5 million homes for sale in September.
The gap between sellers and buyers grew by nearly 6 percent from August to September.
Mortgage rates have increased, with the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rising to 7.4 percent by early October.
Higher mortgage rates and inflation, including rising gas prices, are discouraging buyers.
Most large metropolitan areas (41 of 50) in the U.S. are now “buyer’s markets,” where sellers outnumber buyers by more than 10 percent.
Buyers who can afford to buy now have more negotiating power and can be selective.
Miami had the largest difference, with buyers outnumbering sellers by 158.9 percent last month.

James Talarico, a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate from Texas, criticized the growth of large data centers in Texas, saying these companies should pay for their own energy and water use instead of raising costs for communities. His Republican opponent, Attorney General Ken Paxton, supports data center development but says measures should be in place to protect residents' resources.
Key Facts
Texas has nearly 700 operating or planned data centers, making it a major hub for these facilities.
Talarico wants to make data centers responsible for their own electricity and water consumption to avoid higher bills for Texans.
He proposes requiring data centers to recycle water and get approval from local communities before building.
Talarico also suggests ending tax breaks for data centers and making them pay for their infrastructure needs.
Paxton supports data center growth, saying there is plenty of space and the facilities create good jobs and economic benefits.
Paxton claims safeguards can protect water supplies and electricity costs from rising too much for residents.
Data center issues have become important in the Texas Senate race, which could affect control of the U.S. Senate.
Talarico accuses Paxton of benefiting from campaign contributions linked to data center companies.

Resources Minister Madeleine King said that emissions from the Beetaloo gas basin development in the Northern Territory would be “accounted for and offset.” However, the Northern Territory government does not require full emissions offsets for the basin, and most emissions from the projects are expected not to be offset under current policies.
Key Facts
Madeleine King defended the development of the Beetaloo gas basin in a speech at the National Press Club.
The Beetaloo basin is a large fossil fuel project south of Darwin supplying gas to eastern Australia and export markets.
A 2018 government inquiry called the Pepper inquiry recommended full offsets of emissions from shale gas developments to prevent increased total emissions.
The Northern Territory government dropped the requirement for full emissions offsets after industry objections.
The federal safeguard mechanism only requires offsetting emissions directly from facilities emitting over 100,000 tonnes of CO2 annually, not full lifecycle emissions.
Research shows about 95% of emissions from Beetaloo gas projects this decade will not need to be offset.
Environmental groups say the government has broken promises to fully adopt the Pepper inquiry recommendations.
Critics call on Minister King to correct her public statements about emission offsets from the Beetaloo basin.

Queensland’s Liberal National Party (LNP) government plans to change workplace laws to limit public sector workers’ ability to strike and reduce access to compensation for psychological injuries. These proposals have sparked concern from unions and some workers, while some business groups support them.
Key Facts
The LNP government in Queensland plans to allow the deputy premier to stop public sector strikes if seen as “in the public interest.”
It will be harder for public servants, including emergency workers, to claim compensation for psychological injuries unless they prove the workplace was the main cause.
The United Workers Union says these changes hurt ambulance officers and hospital staff.
Some business groups support the proposed changes.
Opposition leader Steven Miles compared the plans to past policies under former premier Campbell Newman.
The LNP government won the 2024 election by focusing on crime and avoiding divisive issues but is now pursuing more aggressive workplace laws.
The public sector in Queensland employs over 320,000 people, making it a significant political group.
Deputy premier Jarrod Bleijie expects strong opposition and a large campaign against the changes from the Labor party.

A children's book about Palestine, co-written by Alana Hadid and Jenan Matari, was canceled by Penguin Random House shortly before its release due to disagreements over the book’s content. The authors said the publisher altered their manuscript in ways they felt misrepresented their views on Palestinian history and resistance, leading them to withdraw the book and plan to publish it elsewhere.
Key Facts

The book was co-written by Alana Hadid, an activist, and Jenan Matari, an author.

Penguin Random House said the editorial process followed standard procedures and supported the authors’ choice to cancel.

Senator Susan Collins is facing questions about her husband Thomas Daffron’s work with a lobbying firm as she runs for re-election in Maine. Daffron worked for a firm that lobbied for a company involved in data-center development, which is a controversial topic in Maine due to concerns about electricity use and environmental impact.
Key Facts
Susan Collins is Maine’s senior senator and chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, running for a sixth term.
Her husband, Thomas Daffron, is a Republican operative and former lobbyist with experience in government and political campaigns.
Daffron became COO of Jefferson Consulting Group after working as an executive at Chesapeake Enterprises, a lobbying firm.
Chesapeake Enterprises lobbied for Hillwood Investments, a company involved in industrial development, including large data centers.
Hillwood’s data-center projects have raised concerns in Maine about electricity use, water resources, and rising utility costs.
There is no clear evidence that Daffron personally lobbied on data-center policy or called for specific actions on data centers.
Maine officials have considered temporary bans on large data centers to create regulations addressing their effects.
The Maine Democratic Party is using Daffron’s lobbying ties to criticize Collins ahead of the election.
