CoreLogic: US home prices accelerated in October Published: Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at 7:16 a.m. Last Modified: Tuesday, December 2, 2014 at 7:16 a.m. WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. home prices rose at a faster year-over-year pace in October than in September, snapping a sevenmonth slowdown.

The price momentum began to tail off in the middle of the year as home values in more cities and states neared the record highs last seen shortly before the Great Recess...

Brian Woodham – brian@auburnvillager.com  Editor's note: The story has been updated to reflect the vote of the Board of Zoning Adjustment on Wednesday. After more than a decade sitting vacant, the historic Auburn Train Depot on Mitcham Avenue is on the verge of springing back to life.  Matt and Jana Poirier, owners of The Hound, plan to open a new restaurant at the depot, which was purchased, along with the adjacent gas station property, in December 2013 for $950,000 by the Auburn Industrial Development Board.  When scouting locations for The Hound, Matt Poirier said he first toured the depot, and his interest in the property hasn't waned since then.  The IDB and city development staff have been seeking proposals for the depot for almost a year, but a casual conversation between Economi...

Alabama had gains in construction jobs from October 2013 to last month, as well as from September to October 2014. The largest gain for construction employment took place over the 12-month period starting last fall, according to new data provided by the Associated General Contractors of America. Alabama gained 3,600 jobs, a 4.6 percent increase, year-over-year to a total of 82,100 construction jobs. "These year-over-year and one-month changes show that construction is doing well in most of the country," said Ken Simonson, the association's chief economist. "Yet, the list of states that have added construction jobs varies from month to month, showing that the industry's recovery remains vulnerable to worker shortages and unfavorable governmental actions." The state also saw a small gain ...
