NAR will use new research to shape policy positions in effort to boost minority homeownership.

A new report examines the elements of home staging, the role of television programing, and the expectations of buyers.

While a lack of inventory and rising prices continue to limit opportunities for homeownership – especially for younger Americans and minority populations – policies that support nationwide housing affordability are now more important than ever.

Each of the four major U.S. regions witnessed month-over-month declines in February, while results were mixed in the four regions year-over-year.

The report examines why NAR members entered real estate, the skills most important for success, the typical number of transactions, sales volume and income. It also analyzes differences by gender, race, sexual orientation and real estate specialty – residential, commercial or both.
