Title: HAR Disaster Resource Center


1
HAR Disaster Resource Center
  • HAR has established the HAR Disaster Resource
    Center. The site, located at www.har.com/emergen
    cy, will house emergency contact information for
    REALTORS, as well as message boards to allow
    those in need of housing and office space to be
    matched with those who are able to help.
  • There are also useful legal FAQs that address the
    implications of damage to a home that is under
    contract, etc.
  • Do you feel fortunate, as so many of us do, and
    want a way to help others? Find many volunteer
    opportunities on the HAR Disaster Resource
    Center, including with the United Way, American
    Red Cross, Volunteer Fort Bend, MD Anderson
    Cancer Center, Volunteer Houston, and more.
  • If your or your client's roof was damaged by the
    hurricane, you may be able to obtain a tarp to
    help prevent further damage to the home.  Call
    888-766-3258 to find out if you or your client
    qualifies for the Blue Roof Program through
    FEMA.

Texas REALTOR Disaster Relief Fund
  • Donate to the TAR Disaster Relief Fund, which
    helps members affected by Hurricane Ike. Although
    applications for aid are not yet being accepted,
    the fund is accepting donations from REALTORS.
    Please make your checks payable to the TAR
    Disaster Relief Fund and mail them to
  • Texas Association of REALTORS
  • c/o Susan Chichester
  • P.O. Box 2246
  • Austin, TX 78768
  • NAR and TAR have already committed donations
    for this fund, and HARs board of directors will
    be holding an emergency board meeting to consider
    its contribution. It is all about REALTORS
    helping REALTORS.
  • Guidelines for how to access this assistance
    are being developed, and updates will be provided
    though the disaster resource Web site.

HAR Operations Resume
  • All HAR offices have reopened and have staff on
    hand to help you during normal business hours.
  • Until the power is restored to your home or
    office, if you need a place with lights, air
    conditioning, water, restrooms, printers,
    copiers, access to wireless, the ability to
    charge your cell phone or simply a hot cup of
    coffee, please stop by the main office or any of
    HARs branches during normal business hours.
  • If you need a place to hold an office meeting,
    please contact the Education Department at
    713-629-1900 ext. 6 to schedule a time and
    place.
  • We will also be utilizing our Live Chat feature
    on HAR.com to help anyone who might have
    questions during the weekend.  You may find the
    Live Chat button at the top of the page, once you
    have signed in to the Members Only Portal.

August MLS Sales Stats
  • The August MLS statistics will be released on
    Tuesday morning, and here are some quick
    takeaways
  • Single-family home sales fell 20.1 percent
    compared to August 2007.
  • The average sales price for a single-family
    home rose 4.3 percent versus the same month last
    year to 223,933 (the third highest level on
    record).
  • The median single-family sales price increased
    0.6 percent versus last year, coming in at
    160,000.
  • With an expected negative impact on home sales
    in September due to Hurricane Ike, we believe
    that sales figures will disappoint next month.
    Historically, the month following months impacted
    by storms has rebounded, but there is much more
    damage this time so we might not see as much of a
    bounce in October sales as we would have
    otherwise.
