The NAR campaign would be a Realistic Pricing campaign. The only way for realtors to keep their transaction volume, is for sellers to get real. Seller stubbornness is the reason for lower transactions. So we have inventory up from 9,000 last year to 20,000, sales down 35% from 6,000 to 4,000, and only 4 out of every 20 properties is selling. [The numbers from last year are estimates]. With sales down from 6,000 last year to 4,000 this year, that’s a much smaller pie to be split between all those realtors out there. If the NAR is really representing the realtors, they need to change the Realtor Ethics campaign to a Seller-Get-Real campaign.
