The pace at which homes sell in the U.S. tends to ebb and flow over the calendar year, with homes selling fastest in the summer and slowest in the winter. But high home prices and mortgage interest rates are keeping many potential buyers on the sidelines. The median number of days a home spent on the market in May was 32, the same as the year before. When homes sell faster, it can be a sign that any given market is less buyer-friendly, and decisions must be made quickly. Stacker compiled a list of metros where homes sold the fastest in May, using data from Redfin . Metros, which include the main city as well as its surrounding towns and suburbs, are ranked by the median number of days a home was listed before it sold. Metros with more than 300 home sales were included. In the case of ties, metros with the most home sales overall were ranked higher. You may also like: Should I pay off my mortgage early?

This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

At least one person is dead after Hurricane Beryl tore through the Caribbean Monday. The monster storm set new records as the earliest Category 5 Atlantic hurricane on record in any given season and only the second Category 5 Atlantic hurricane ever recorded in July. Beryl left a path of “immense destruction, pain (and) suffering” as it passed through the island nation of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, destroying as many as 90% of one island's homes, according to the country’s prime minister. A hurricane warning has been put in place in Jamaica where Beryl is expected to be felt on Wednesday, potentially bringing a storm surge as high as 3-5 feet even if the storm doesn’t make direct landfall.
