COVID-19 and the extraordinary efforts being made to minimize the spread of the virus have touched every aspect of American life. REALTOR® Magazine and the National Association of REALTORS® are here to help you process what’s happening in the country and the real estate industry as massive school, travel, and service closures nationwide begin to affect your livelihood. While the Fed’s drastic rate cut to zero is “the right policy,” says NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun, there’s new evidence it may not help prevent a housing slowdown—just as the spring selling season approaches.

So what should you be doing to safeguard yourself, your business, and your clients? Cancel open houses? Avoid traveling with clients in your car? NAR has answers in its continually updated coronavirus guide for REALTORS®. 

Beyond business advice, we’ve got you covered with information about changes to real estate events, sellers’ responses to the market, and other news, including an analysis of the federal government’s actions in response to the crisis.
