The 2,794 homes sold during the first half of 2020, with an average price of $243,949, is the highest number for the first half of any year in the history of the MLS - with the highest average price, too! The month of June broke MLS records with 714 homes placed under contract, the highest such number in any single month in any year in the history of the MLS. A link to the June home sales statistics, including a 4-year comparison, is provided on the front page of RVAR.com. The MLS releases its monthly home sales statistics around the 15th of the following month.  

NAR recently surveyed a sampling of REALTORS® nationwide to determine the characteristics of today's typical REALTOR®. Nine years of experience, 12 transaction sides in 2019, with median gross income of $49,700. The number of members who are very certain they will remain in the real estate business for the next two years is 80%.  Click here to check out how you compare. 

If it has been a while since you last updated your professional headshot, we can help!  And you can help your REALTOR® Political Action Committee (RPAC) too!
 
RVAR will be providing individual, professional headshots on Wednesday, August 19th (10:00AM - 5:30PM) & Thursday, August 20th (9:00AM - 1:30PM) to benefit the REALTOR® Political Action Committee (RPAC) and increase participation among our members. This event is an easy way to support RPAC this year!
 
Plan to come by the RVAR during the above times and for a $30 RPAC contribution (a $125 value), you will receive a digital-ready professional headshot. Team photos are welcome for an additional $30 RPAC contribution per team member in the photo.
 
No appointment is needed.
 
Professional photographer Bruce Muncy will be using a neutral / light grey backdrop for the photos. You will pick out your photo while there and he will send you the touched-up file within a few days.

Every effort will be made to conduct this event in compliance with COVID-19 guidelines. The photographer will wipe down touch areas after each person and will be wearing a mask.
 
Did you know that RPAC is the only political advocacy group in the United States that was organized for REALTORS®, is run by REALTORS®, and exists solely to further issues that are important to REALTORS® and protect property owners? As a REALTOR®, RPAC is your defense to protect your business and our industry.
 
Hope to see you then! (BTW, this is not one of our agents!)
