I thought it would be fun to chart median home prices in St. Paul, MN year to date and the Dow Jones industrial average year to date. The Dow shot up after the employment numbers were released last week. It is unclear if any of the 204,000 jobs created in September of 2013 pay workers well enough so that they can afford to buy homes but it is still good news.
Here is the DOW so far for 2013.

Here is a chart that I made using numbers from the Northstar MLS which is deemed reliable but not guaranteed and captures most of the home sales in St. Paul each year.
