The NAR seems to be more forthcoming

February 25, 2008

Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for the National Association of RealtorsMany Realtors (R) have been both amused and amazed at the National Association of Realtors comments on market conditions in the past several years and the accompanying commercials touting real estate with an almost closed eye on current market conditions.

We have witnessed the Laughable Lereah and Lawrence (the Yuckster) Yun continue to positively spin the market while statistics proved their all too rosy prognostications to be just that month after month. As Realtors (R), we have almost had to duck our heads in shame.

But now, we are seeming to see the “softer and gentler” side of the NAR. Comments and analysis seem to be much more in tune with reality. I for one am delighted because I prefer to “tell it like it is” with my perspective of the current Charleston real estate market.

But I am very fortunate to be a Charleston South Carolina real estate agent as opposed to an agent in a seriously depressed market. And to give a little slack, the NAR is after all is said and done, a trade organization designed to help their members sell real estate.

Here is something you’ll find helpful. The NAR Economist’s Forecast feed.
