Not Enough Homes
|
The July-August edition of REALTOR® magazine is just out with a cover story on inventory:
Not Enough Homes.
The U.S. is about 2.5 million units short based on long-term growth projections, Freddie Mac estimates.
Laurie Goodman, vice president of housing finance policy at the Urban Institute, calls the housing shortage a crisis.
The Institute has found a shortfall of about 350,000 units per year due to underbuilding since 2009.
The result will be "a huge deficit in housing over the next decade," she says.
NAR is just out with a new infographic,
The Housing Shortage in Perspective - Why Inventory has been Shrinking.
See the new info-graphic (pictured above),

2019 REALTORS® Conference & Expo

November 8-11
"Imagine the Possibilities" is the theme for this year's event.
The tagline and design concept is meant to be inspirational and fun.
It connects with San Francisco's culture and vibe - both past and present - in that the city has been (and continues to be) known for opportunity and innovation.
This is also what attendees can expect at this year's event - the opportunity to obtain innovative tools that will enhance their businesses.
IMAGINE what four days can do for you!

Legal Hotline: Secret Agreement
|
Washington REALTORS® Legal Hotline lawyer
Annie Fitzsimmons answers this question: My office received a backup offer with all the relevant addenda, including the backup addendum.
On the backup addendum, the selling agent wrote, "Seller shall not disclose to the first sale buyer that this backup agreement exists."
Is that legal? Enforceable?
Is the Seller obligated to oblige?
Watch the six-minute video online here:

Summer at the Children's Clubhouse
|
The Children's Clubhouse at Sacred Heart Children's Hospital reports adult volunteers served
151 children during the just-concluded month of June.
Summer months bring a larger-than-average need for clubhouse volunteers as many families make medical appointments when children are out of school for summer vacation.
If you are a clubhouse volunteer, this is an especially important time for you to keep your promised volunteer commitments -
please check in with the clubhouse if you can't make a scheduled shift.
