BREAKING: The number of full-time real estate agents and brokers in the US dropped to 440,000 in 2023, the least since 2014. The real estate agents count fell 72,000 year-over-year, or 14%, marking the largest drop since 2008. The number of members in the National Association of Realtors is now down 100,000 since 2022, to ~1.5 million. In July, pending home sales plummeted to their lowest level on RECORD, even below the 2020 pandemic levels when the housing market halted. With mortgage demand at 30-year lows, the housing market is stalling. Agents are dropping quickly.

@COsports55 @Fire5280 @HomeRise and @Houwzer already are. I've sold half a dozen homes with them, had numerous friends use them. The experience has been excellent for everyone involved.

I'm excited to share "Newfound's Perspective on the NAR Settlement and the Path Towards Industry Transformation." @NewfoundGroup @Houwzer @Trelora @HomeRise @WSJ @nytimes @Inman @bizjournals @NicoleFriedman linkedin.com/pulse/newfound…

With interest rates at 7%, homeownership is still a great way to create generational wealth 📈 Let's encourage builders to continue to build so we can make sure everyone has the opportunity to benefit from homeownership. #GenerationalWealth #Homeownership #InterestRates

Single-family rental businesses or “SFRs” have often been called “the big bad wolf.” @MikeMaherPHL had a hot take at the Blue Print conference that might suggest otherwise… #AffordableHousing #SFR

Hey, @elonmusk, I've been 'eating glass and staring into the abyss' for almost a decade now w/ @Houwzer and now @NewfoundGroup. The tides are turning, and now is the time to transform another behemoth industry in service of the customer. You in? linkedin.com/pulse/open-let…

The first domino has fell. “Inflated commissions have plagued the American consumer for far too long. The entire system has been set up to preserve brokerage commissions as opposed to preserving consumer equity.” @NewfoundGroup @Houwzer @Trelora @TryHomie newfoundgroup.com/sitzer-burnett…

Many foreclosure auctions take place at a sheriff’s sale, which typically (but not always) are online. You can look up current foreclosure listings in your area by using a site like @HomeRise and filtering by Listing Type.
