Low mortgage rates could hurt first-time home buyers for years to come
|
|
|
Record-low mortgage interest rates have been a boon for buyers on a budget, even luring those who have been on the sidelines into the housing market. But that influx of buyers has made an already severe housing shortage worse-and the impact of those low rates on the housing supply is likely to reverberate well into the future.
First-time buyers, whose ranks have swelled with city refugees seeking more space in the suburbs, are now duking it out over an extremely limited number of affordably priced homes for sale-in the middle of both a pandemic and an economic recession. Click here to view the full realtor.com article. |

Market Recovery Survey reveals REALTOR® members are wary of upcoming months
Real estate, like many other industries, was forced to adjust to the COVID-19 pandemic, from changing home tour procedures to embracing virtual or socially distant closings. Now some cities and states are reversing their reopening plans as coronavirus cases surge-but many real estate professionals say they're better prepared for the impact on their business.
Nineteen percent of REALTORS® say they're "very prepared" for a second wave of COVID-19 cases, and 39% say they're "somewhat prepared," according to the National Association of REALTORS®' Market Recovery Survey, which is based on responses from about 2,300 members. Of those who believe there might be a second wave, 30% say they feel more prepared because they have a better idea of what to expect. Twenty-seven percent of REALTORS® say they're concerned enough about the ongoing threat of the coronavirus that they have shifted their business practices to better prepare.

NAR applauds administration effort to eliminate duplicative, onerous regulations
|
|
|
NAR President Vince Malta responded following the Trump administration's deregulatory agenda press conference last Thursday. Of note to America's 1.4 million REALTORS®, President Trump reiterated his commitment to the White House Commission on Barriers to Affordable Housing, which seeks to eliminate impediments to affordable housing, and touted the administration's move earlier this week to modernize the National Environmental Protection Act.
The White House reports that 16 pieces of deregulation legislation signed by President Trump are expected to increase annual real incomes by more than $40 billion, saving American households an estimated $3,100 each year. The administration also reports that it has cut roughly 8.5 regulations for every new rule imposed since January 2017. Click here to read the complete NAR press release. |
