Declining NAR Membership

Membership in the National Association of Realtors declined slightly from about 1.58 million members at the end of 2022 to roughly 1.55 million members at the close of 2023, reflecting a decrease of about 2%. This decline was attributed to the challenging housing market conditions in 2023, with existing home sales hitting their lowest point since 1995. Despite reports of impending major shake-ups in the real estate industry, the decline in membership is seen as part of an ongoing trend due to lawsuit settlements and tough market conditions.
