GLVAR President-Elect will volunteer in leadership program

Tom Blanchard to serve as NVR Leadership Academy trustee
 Another standout year of programming is set for the Nevada REALTORS® annual Leadership Academy. While the 2019 program will be led by Dean Marcella Syme, an Elko-based REALTOR®, the newest addition to the Academy's Trustee team is Tom Blanchard. The Las Vegas REALTOR® will begin his four-year commitment as a Trustee at the Academy's first of four 2019 sessions, set for this week in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Blanchard is a 2017 graduate of Leadership Academy. He is currently the GLVAR President-Elect. Blanchard will help support the 16 REALTORS® from across the Silver State who are scheduled to participate in the 2019 program.
"I didn't really have to be pushed to apply for the leadership trustee position," Blanchard said. "I got so much from going through the program; I felt the need to give back. There is nothing more fulfilling as a leader than helping someone replace you after you're done serving."
Las Vegas REALTORS® Stephanie Dibbs (2017 graduate) and Tim Kuptz (2015 graduate) will join Syme and Blanchard on the Trustee team, serving as second-year Trustee and Past Dean respectively. Blanchard is excited to serve the program and its participants, hoping to bring a fresh view on leadership.
"I owe so much to my experience," he said. "I honestly don't think I'd be here preparing to serve as GLVAR President-Elect without the Leadership Academy ... I think I can bring a unique and open style of telling a story or conveying an idea. I have an ability to look at situations from different perspectives and that usually brings a unique response."
Nevada REALTORS® Leadership Academy has graduated more than 200 class members who are now busy better serving clients and volunteering in leadership positions across Nevada since the program's inception. As first-year Trustee, Blanchard will be welcoming the 20th class to participate in Leadership Academy, which hosted its inaugural program in 2000. |

Women, millennials, Hispanics will shape housing's future
|
|
| |
 The future of real estate will be significantly influenced by women, millennials and Hispanics, according to realtor.com®'s analysis of first names on 2018 home sales deeds.
Single women are one of the fastest-growing demographics in the housing market, according to the data. Although older Baby Boomer and Silent Generation women are leading the charge, the increase in deeds with female names is particularly visible when comparing genders within the millennial generation. Looking solely at names with a peak year between 1981 and 1997, millennial female names are outpacing millennial male names, with home sales with female names beating male name home sales by 1.5 percent (6.9 percent versus 4.4 percent on average year-over-year, respectively). Seven of the top 10 fastest growing buyer names are predominately millennial female names, and all of them peak in the 1980s and 1990s. Click here to read more. |

 Americans are remaining in their homes longer than ever before, consequently tightening the lid on housing supply. First American data indicates that homeownership tenure has risen 10% just from 2017 and has significantly climbed since the market crashed in 2008.
"Tenure jumped to seven years during the aftermath of the crash between 2008 and 2016, and the most recent data from December 2018 shows that the median length of time someone lives in their home has increased 10% compared with a year ago." First American Chief Economist Mark Fleming said.
But why are more and more homeowners deciding to stay put? Click here for the answer to that question and more.
