NAR NEWS

NAR Donates $1 million to Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial

Underscoring its mission to make home ownership viable for all Americans, NAR made a $1 million contribution to the Washington, D.C., Martin Luther King , Jr. National Memorial Project Foundation. NAR President Pat Vredevoogd Combs presented the donation yesterday at the U.S. Capitol to Reps. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) and John Lewis (D-Ga.), and Harry E. Johnson, Sr., president of the MLK National Memorial Foundation. "NAR is an outspoken advocate for fair housing, an ally in the fight against predatory lending practices, and an organization that prides itself on building communities," said Combs. "We are proud to be a part of the effort to build a permanent home to honor Dr. King on our National Mall."

NAR: Existing-home Sales Improve

Sales of existing homes rose in January, reaching the highest level in seven months, NAR says. Total existing-home sales, including single-family, townhomes, condominiums, and co-ops, increased 3 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.46 million units from an upwardly revised pace of 6.27 million in December. Sales were 4.3 percent below the 6.75 million-unit level in January 2006. David Lereah, NAR's chief economist, cautions against overreacting to the sales gain, or to other short-term effects. "Although we're expecting existing-home sales to gradually rise this year, and buyers are responding to the price correction, some unusually warm weather helped boost sales in January," he says. "On the flip side, the winter storms that disrupted so much of the country in February could negatively impact the housing market."

SentriLock Training is mandatory and consists of a 20-minute video plus hands on demonstration.  You may call Ronnie Miles at 888-340-8727 to schedule for any one of the following classes:
