  NAR: Black buyers more likely to have student loan debt, get rejected for mortgage loans  
 

Association officials say data reinforces need to close persistent minority homeownership gaps

Minority homeownership stubbornly lags behind the national rate, with Black Americans facing some of the toughest hurdles to achieving this essential part of the American Dream, according to data released by the National Association of Realtors® last week. The homeownership rate for Black Americans - 42% - is nearly 30% less than the rate for white Americans - 69.8%. The U.S. homeownership rate stands at 64.2%, with the rates for Asian and Hispanic Americans at 60.7% and 48.1%, respectively.

NAR's Snapshot of Race & Home Buying in America report examines the homeownership rate among each race in 2019 using American Community Survey data by state and the changes in the homeownership rate by race from 2009 to 2019. Using the Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers data from 2020, the report looks into the characteristics of who purchases homes, why they purchase, what they purchase, and the financial background for buyers based on race.

  The REALTORS® Political Action Committee, or RPAC, - a national bipartisan grassroots-based political advocacy organization - will be adding more Nevada honorees to its Hall of Fame, including five newcomers and a trio that is moving up a tier.

Cheryl Delehanty, a member of Incline Village Realtors (IVR), is among this special group. Last week's NVR eNews edition incorrectly listed Delehanty as a Las Vegas Realtor. Delehanty is a long-time Realtor in the Lake Tahoe region and this year will be inducted into the RPAC Hall of Fame for reaching the $25,000 tier. Click here to read the full story.
