NAR Annual
Meeting Registration Now Open
Registration is now open for the National Association of REALTORS®
Annual Meeting, held November 7-10, 2008 in Orlando, Florida.
To register or for more information, please

Commercial
Real Estate Index Contracts
Although fundamentals are sound, activity in commercial real estate
markets is expected to ease in the months ahead, according to a
forward-looking index for
the commercial real estate sectors published by NAR. The Commercial
Leading Indicator for Brokerage Activity edged down 0.7 percent to
an index of 119.0 in the first quarter from a downwardly revised
reading of 119.9 in the fourth quarter, and is 0.8 percent below
the first quarter of 2007, when it stood at 120.0. "The moderate
erosion in the index suggests that commercial activity, as measured
by net absorption and the completion of new commercial buildings,
will be positive but somewhat weaker over the next six to nine
months," says NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. "Private
nonresidential investment in structures is likely to subtract
one-third to one-half percentage point off GDP growth. Along with
the impact of the credit crunch, a weakening in leasing and
building sales activity should come as no surprise because
commercial real estate follows changes in overall economic
activity."

information appears courtesy of NAR, from
the May 21, 2008 issue of NAR's AE Report.

Do you know
about the REALTOR® Political Action Committee?
The North Carolina REALTORS® Political Action Committee (NC RPAC)
is a non-partisan committee organized for the specific purpose of
raising funds to support political candidates of all parties at
the local, state and federal levels of government. NC RPAC exists
through the voluntary contributions of members, their spouses, and
families of NCAR. NC RPAC was established by NCAR in recognition
of the need to increase political activity and awareness among
members, and to protect the interest of the real estate industry
in the political arena. You can be a large or small contributor
to NC RPAC. However, we encourage every REALTOR® to give at least
$25. NC RPAC contributes these funds to the campaigns of
candidates at all levels of government. Of the contributions
received, 30 percent of the funds are sent to the National RPAC
and 70 percent stay in
North Carolina
to fund local and state candidates. Your voice is heard through
the impact of your NC RPAC dollars. We take great pride in the
fact that NC RPAC consistently is the No. 1 business PAC in the
state! It is essential that we are able to support the candidates
that will fight for REALTOR® issues when elected. REALTORS® are
under constant threat of sales tax on your commissions, higher
taxes on your business, and increased real estate taxes. Your RPAC
contributions are the key to our being able to make a difference
in the Legislature.
CRCBR has kicked off its annual RPAC Campaign this month, and we
ask that you consider contributing to this important organization!
With the funds received, RPAC is able to assist us in local,
state, and national issues that affect REALTORS®.
