Economists' Outlook

Housing stats and analysis from NAR's research experts.
  • As the economy suffered through the recession and housing took a particularly hard hit, REALTOR® incomes have also been affected, as 84 percent of NAR members are paid on a commission basis.
  • It is important to note what the NAR member does within their office and firm provides variation to the member. Broker-owners and managers who do not sell typically had the highest incomes—13 percent of broker-owners who do not sell had gross annual incomes above $250,000 in 2010.
  • Sales agents are typically the newest members to real estate and typically had the lowest income—28 percent of sales agents had gross annual incomes less than $10,000 in in 2010.
