New Telemarketing Rules Webinar

A new Federal law and regulation will change telemarketing practices.

According to the National Association of REALTORS®, starting Jan 27, 2025, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) One-to-One Consent Rule will require consumer consent before using automatic telephone dialing systems or sending prerecorded voice messages.

The NAR legal and advocacy teams are hosting a webinar on Jan 28 to share best practices for complying with these rules.

BREAKING: US existing home sales plummeted by 2.0% year-over-year to 4.1 million in July, marking the weakest July since at least 2012 according to Redfin.

Over the last 3 years, sales have declined by nearly 3 million and are sitting at their lowest levels since the 2020 Pandemic.

At the same time, pending home sales decreased by 5.8% year-over-year to their second-worst level on record aside from April 2020.

This follows ~59,000 pending home sales that fell out of contract, or 15.8% of all pending sales, the highest share of any July since 2017.

The lack of homebuyers has been driven by historically high prices with the median sale price reaching $439,170, just 0.7% below the all-time record.

Homebuyer demand is at 30+ year lows.
