Home Depot Inc. (Atlanta) posted third-quarter profit that topped analysts’ estimates, attributed to rising home prices that have spurred homeowners to splurge on renovations.

Revenues climbed 7.4 percent in the quarter and U.S. same-store sales rose 8.2 percent.
Bloomberg News reports that the 18-month gain in the U.S. housing market is giving consumers the confidence they need to remodel kitchens and bathrooms.
Prices for single-family homes climbed in 88 percent of U.S. metropolitan markets in the third quarter as buyers competed for limited inventories, according to a report from the National Association of Realtors earlier this month.
The nationwide median price for an existing single-family home rose 12.5 percent in the third quarter, to $207,300.
