The National Association of Realtors has debuted its Market Statistics Dashboard for members, which provides local housing data intended to help clients buy and sell homes.
The dashboard is updated monthly and provides the following data:
- Housing affordability
- Sales and listing trends
- Home pricing changes
- Economic indicators
- Homeownership and demographic insights
Realtors will also have access to an analysis that looks at how many households could qualify to buy a median-priced home if mortgage rates fall to 6%.
Atlanta, Dallas, Minneapolis, Cleveland and Kansas City are expected to see the strongest boost in home sales activity if rates decline to 6%.
NAR’s latest forecast projects a:
- 3% increase in home sales in 2025 and 14% increase in 2026
- 1% rise in home prices in 2025 and 4% rise in 2026
- 6.7% average for the 30-year mortgage rate in 2025 and a 6.0% average in 2026
NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yu, said, “The new dashboard is a tool that enables NAR members to stay ahead of the market and better serve their clients. Using exclusive NAR data, the dashboard is a one-stop-shop that equips members with insights into shifts in affordability, demand and the economy. This allows agents who are Realtors® to advocate on behalf of their clients with confidence and achieve better outcomes.”
