REALTORS® serve residential and commercial property buyers and sellers in every
zip code. Members of the National Association of REALTORS® provide critical
support to consumers, serving as a trusted advisor through one of the biggest
financial decisions of their lifetime.

With current market challenges like rising prices and low inventory, as well as
shifting trends in commercial real estate, those seeking to buy or sell a home
or open or expand a business know they need a REALTOR® by their side.


TODAY’S REAL ESTATE MARKET: QUICK FACTS

 * Considering the historical average level of housing construction and the 14
   years of underproduction, our country still lacks 4.7 million homes.
 * Middle-income buyers are feeling the inventory shortage the most. About
   376,200 listings in the price range of $250,000 and under are missing from
   the market.
 * Homeownership greatly enhances family net worth. Homeowners have 40 times the
   net worth of renters. Home equity and retirement accounts represent over 60%
   of households’ net worth.
 * In the last decade, middle-income homeowners have accumulated more than
   $125,000 in wealth due to price appreciation alone.
 * Real estate represents 17.8% of U.S. GDP. Each home sale produces $125,000 in
   local economic activity and generates two jobs.
 * In 2023, state and local governments collected more than $760 billion in
   property tax revenue. Property taxes accounted for 37.6% of state and local
   tax receipts.
 * Real estate professionals are vital to thriving communities. 88% of REALTORS®
   are independent contractors at their firms and 65% are women, using their
   professional expertise to help consumers navigate the intricacies of real
   estate transactions.
