GLAR News: March 18, 2024 - REALTOR DIRECT

The National Association of REALTORS® announced a proposed settlement agreement that would end litigation of claims brought on behalf of home sellers related to broker commissions. We are actively monitoring the progression of this settlement and will alert members on updates affecting your business.

The State of Hispanic Homeownership Report®️ is a publication of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals®️ (NAHREP) and is an industry benchmark that combines a broad cross-section of data and research. This report provides an analysis of how the U.S. Hispanic population is faring with respect to the attainment of homeownership in America.

In 2023, the Hispanic homeownership rate reached 49.5 percent. Despite facing what has been reported as the least affordable housing market on record, Latinos added a net gain of 377,000 owner-households, the largest single-year gain since 2005, almost 20 years. While rapidly rising interest rates and low housing inventory were the biggest barriers to homeownership growth last year, resiliency remained.
