    C) it does not change GDP

    Explanation:

    The selling of existing homes does not affect the GDP since they were built in previous years. Only the sale of newly built homes increase the GDP.

    Only the services provided by real estate agents, appraisers, lawyers, etc. related to the sale of existing homes are included in the GDP.
