NAR ANNOUNCES NEW PARTNERSHIP WITH THE U.S. CENSUS BUREAU
Check out the latest
press release
with details on the new partnership between the National Association of REALTORS® and the upcoming 2020 Census.
Every year, roughly $1.5 trillion is allocated to states and local governments based off of Census results – funding countless public services that make our communities better places to work, live and raise a family. The Census is important for all REALTORS® because completing the Census survey means more resources for businesses and communities across the country.
It is our job as REALTORS® to bring awareness to the importance of the Census. The GMAR and NAR want to be sure that our members – along with their friends, clients and neighbors – complete the Census form accurately and as soon as possible after receiving. This process is quick & secure – and responding takes less time than finishing your morning coffee
NAR and the Bureau will also be hosting a joint webinar to highlight their partnership and discuss the impact of the Census on our industry.
It will be held Wednesday, March 4, from 1-2 PM Central Time
. If you are interested in participating in the webinar, please follow the registration instructions on

JOIN THE GMAR'S HOUSING STATISTICS TASK FORCE
|
The GMAR is asking for members who may be interested in joining a special Housing Statistics Task Force.
The Association has a huge reserve of statistics on the housing market, buyers’ and sellers’ attitudes, market trends, etc. and we would like to identify new ways to use that information to promote homeownership, REALTORS®, and the greater housing industry.
The GMAR currently distributes a monthly housing market press release that is widely published by the local media. We also purchase an over-sample of NAR’s annual consumer Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers that we generate story ideas from. We would like to have members of the task force think about new ways the GMAR can leverage the releases we currently generate, as well as create new reports, press releases and media opportunities to promote the industry.
If you are interested in participating in the Housing Statistics Task Force, please email
mike@gmar.ws
