On August 25th, CARW leadership attended a NAR conference in Chicago where they discussed best practices with colleagues, learned about new grant programs, heard about enhanced tools for commercial members. We also attended a presentation by NAR Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun where he talked about what the market should expect to see in the final quarter of 2024. He discussed the inflationary environment and the impact of the fed and interest rates. He also talked about the severe shortage of housing including low apartment inventory in many markets as well as declining rents. Check out the slides HERE
