	Nevada associations honored for RPAC success
	A pair of Nevada's local REALTOR® associations earned high praise for their RPAC fund-raising and awareness efforts in 2018. Officials from both Incline Village REALTORS and the Elko County Association of REALTORS learned they had won President's Cup status for the past year. That news was released earlier this month by NAR's REALTOR® Party. IVR and ECAR earned the prestigious honor after the associations saw their members achieve a 20 percent response rate on NAR Calls for Action, meet or exceed the local's share of their state's national RPAC fundraising goal and meet or exceed 37 percent participation. The 2018 distinction means the two associations have earned President's Cup honors in back-to-back years. Additionally, the two associations grabbed NAR's Triple Crown status, which only required the two latter criteria. Sierra Nevada REALTORS® captured Triple Crown status as well.

	More people pay their mortgages on time, but for how long?
	It's a real estate and social barometer that doesn't get a lot of publicity, but it's important: More Americans are paying their mortgages on time today than they have in nearly two decades - maybe even longer. That's a big deal, because when large numbers of owners do the opposite - stop paying on their home loans for months at a time - the entire economy feels the effects. Spiking delinquencies in 2007-2008 ushered in the global financial crisis and spawned tidal waves of foreclosures that devastated borrowers and their communities. Some of the wounds are still fresh. Delinquency rates may sound like a yawn, but they are a key economic bellwether that shouldn't be ignored by anyone serious about real estate. Click here to read more of the Washington Post article.
