1317 ET - Home sales in Florida and Texas are stagnating as supply increases. On the west coast of Florida, housing supply is surging, sellers are cutting their asking prices and the time it takes to sell a home is soaring--all at a faster rate than anywhere else in the U.S. The story is similar in parts of Texas, Redfin says. Of the 10 metro areas that posted the largest year-over-year increases in supply, six are in Florida and two are in Texas. Of the 10 metro areas where sellers were most likely to cut their list prices, five are in Florida and two are in Texas. Individual home sellers are having a tough time attracting buyers in part because builders are offering big concessions. (chris.wack@wsj.com)
