I don't think NAR/CAR realized they back-doored themselves when they started providing data to third party sites.

I don't know if that is MN license law, NAR ethics or broker's rules.

l hope I can contribute to the community with my limited knowledge of creative real estate.I belong to two nationwide real estate networks, Magix Corp. and North American realty Services(NARS).

I may do a write up on NARS, but haven't bothered as of yet.

Even the NAR has finally admitted that both volume and prices are headed south.

I have an active Broker's license, and am a member of the NAR and NARPM.This forum looks pretty interesting, I've been lurking awhile and recently started posting some (hopefully) helpful information.

I have used NARS - and worked just like advertised for me.Last deal involved a home in Vancouver, WA- owner was moving to CA and had a prepay penalty on his loan.. and just wanted to get out of the monthly obligation.Placed his home into his own trust, then assigned a beneficial interest to me and I in turn brought in a resident beneficiary to "partner up" with.

So in my opinion we needed to become a less volatile market to become healthier, although the YOY looks negative.I feel about the same with the NAR's national affordability index.

In ALL States, look to the NAR for guidance and state law. :)

Agreed, here anyway it's a NAR requirement, but not state law.
