NAR’s State-by-State Economic Impact

NAR’s State-by-State Economic Impact of Real Estate Activity highlights how the housing market is affecting the national economy as well as the local economies in all 50 states. These reports outline the total economic impact of real estate related industries on the state economy, as well as the expenditures that result from a single home sale, including aspects like home construction costs, real estate brokerage, mortgage lending and title insurance. Our recent Economist’s Outlook blog post includes interactive maps and additional analysis.
Highlights:
  • Real estate is a major driver of the U.S. economy, accounting for $3,894.3 billion or nearly 17% of the GDP in 2021.
  • Nationwide, NAR estimates that each home sale at the median generated about $113,000 of economic impact in 2021.
  • NAR estimates that every home sale generates two jobs.

June Is National Homeownership Month

June is National Homeownership Month, a time to celebrate the value that owning a home brings to families and communities. NAR has created a Homeownership Month landing page that outlines things that we will be doing during the month and includes resources that you can share with your members. We applaud the White House for marking the occasion with a new proclamation. If you plan to share Homeownership Month posts on social media, please use the hashtags #HomeownershipMonth and #Homeownership.

Over 10 Years, Homeowners Obtained $240K in Equity

As prices climb, homeowners who’ve owned their homes for a while have seen a boost in appreciation.

Over the past decade, a homeowner who purchased a single-family existing home would have gained $229,400 in home equity if the home were sold at the median price in the fourth quarter of 2021, according to a new analysis by the National Association of REALTORS®, as reported on the association’s Economists’ Outlook blog.

In the past five years, home prices have notably climbed—rising at an annual pace of nearly 10%, NAR reports. A homeowner who purchased a typical home five years ago would have gained $125,300 from just price appreciation alone.

The Western region of the U.S. has had the most areas of the country where homeowners have built up the largest amount of home equity, led by San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif.; San Francisco-Oakland-Hayward, Calif.; Anaheim-Santa Ana-Irvine, Calif.; and urban Honolulu, Hawaii.
