Macro Economic Real Estate Trends – Talk by Lawrence Yun with NAR

https://twitter.com/JimDuncan/status/786570455532576769

 

Last week’s presentation by Dr. Yun, Chief Economist from the National Association of Realtors was an interesting one, as always.

He has a high-level economist’s view that is tremendously useful – not necessarily from a “what’s happening in the Charlottesville real estate market” perspective, but from a “what are some macro trends that real estate agents and consumers should be aware of and tracking?”

The presentation is here; download, dig in, and feel free to ask me questions. Email/text/call anytime.

One note – the presentation at Darden was fantastic, and those Darden folks are smart; there was no cell coverage in the building, so I couldn’t tweet. 🙂
