PROUD OF NAR's Realtor Party Pac!

NAR Accelerates Efforts to Elect REALTOR® Party Champions

We’re 27 days out from Election Day.

372 RPAC-supported federal candidates advanced from their primaries to the general election. We engaged in 57 Opportunity Races throughout the primary season, with a 93% success rate.

Now, as the general election approaches, we’re redoubling our efforts to elect federal champions. We’re taking 97 Opportunity Races live before Election Day, with nearly 50/50 support for Democrats (48) and Republicans (49).

On the state and local level, our State and Local Independent Expenditures Program has supported more than 400 REALTOR® Party champions this year, and as of last month, every state and D.C. has now participated in the program over its lifetime.

Last month, NAR was proud to partner with National Voter Registration Day. Over 93% of REALTORS® are registered to vote — let’s get to 100%. Check your voter registration status to ensure you can vote for REALTOR® Party champions and policies to protect property ownership.

National Flood Insurance Program Lapse Averted

Though concerns arose in September about a potential government shutdown, Congress passed a funding package on September 25 that also extended the National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP) authority to provide flood insurance through December 20.

NAR urged congressional leaders to ensure an on-time NFIP extension. We will continue to stress the need for stability and predictability in this essential program.

Great newsletter about why housing costs so much. It's supply and demand. The article is behind a paywall, but I subscribe and can share a few free each month. Try this:

Dwell on this

By Conor Dougherty
I cover housing.
The housing crunch has been well documented in high-cost big cities, where rents and mortgages break the bank. Now it has moved into the rest of the country.

The culprit is too little housing, and it began two decades ago. In the three years leading up to the Great Recession, homebuilders started about two million homes a year. That number plunged during the crisis and never fully rebounded. Since 2010, builders have started about 1.1 million new homes a year on average — far below the 1.6 million needed to keep up with population growth. America is millions of homes behind, and it gets worse each year.

A decade ago, the city — and all of Michigan — had too many houses. Now it has a shortage. The shift there explains today’s costly housing market in the rest of the country.

I had heard on Friday rates were down but THIS IS AMAZING! Look at that drop. Just goes to show you never know. No one knows if the is a beginning of a better mortgage rate cycle or a temporary reprieve. If you've been waiting, NOW may be the time!
