Broker-Owner-Manager Survey Launches Tuesday,
July 1

• For the past year HAR has been tracking the
  trends and forces currently impacting the
  industry, marketplace and transaction. 
• HAR understands that these factors will have a
  significant impact upon the businesses and
  careers of HAR members. 
• HAR realizes that the ultimate success of its
  members will lie in the ability of its brokerage
  community to adapt to these changing conditions
  and circumstances.
• In order for HAR to effectively support the
  Houston brokerage community during this
  experience, it is critical that we understand
  where our brokerage members stand on important
  issues.

Weekly HAR Market Stat

• The season of backyard grilling, outdoor
  festivals and extended family vacations is upon
  us. Those who are already safely tucked in an
  owned home are not likely thinking much about the
  housing market, but those who are preparing to
  buy or sell are living it daily. Not enough
  inventory or not enough money offered for
  purchase? Too high a price or multiple offers on
  the table? The answers are ever-evolving and
  dependent upon location and situation. A new
  quarter of activity is almost in the books, but
  year-over-year comparisons on monthly and weekly
  activity may be more beneficial for those living
  the housing life.
• In the Houston region, for the week ending June
  22
• New Listings decreased 1.0 to 2,481
• Pending Sales increased 30.2 to 2,336
• Closed Sales decreased 1.9 to 1,731
