Gain a Local Advantage with the New NAR Metro Market Statistics Dashboard

A Powerful Member-Only Resource

NAR has introduced a brand-new, member-exclusive tool: the Metro Market Statistics Dashboard. Think of it as your one-stop shop for local housing market insights—updated every month and tailored to over 200 metropolitan areas. It delivers a clear snapshot of local market conditions, including:

  • Housing affordability trends
  • Home prices and their direction
  • Sales and listing activity
  • Key economic indicators
  • Demographics and homeownership patterns

As NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun puts it, this dashboard helps members “stay ahead of the market and better serve their clients” by providing exclusive, data‑driven insights into affordability, demand, and economic shifts

Visual Insights at a Glance

The dashboard offers interactive visuals such as:

  • Median home price trends
  • Housing construction data
  • Proportions of income spent on housing (both renters and homeowners)
  • Average monthly payments
  • Local job and wage growth stats

Users can export these custom charts to elevate their marketing materials—whether it’s newsletters, social media posts, or client presentations.

Local vs. National: See How Your Market Compares

One standout feature: the tool enables side-by-side comparisons of metro areas against nationwide trends. For example:

  • If mortgage rates dropped to 6%, an additional 5.5 million households (including 1.6 million renters) might afford a median-priced home
  • Certain metros—Atlanta, Dallas, Minneapolis, Cleveland, and Kansas City—would see stronger markets under that scenario

Lawrence Yun will showcase the new dashboard during the Real Estate Forecast Summit Webinar on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, from 2 to 3 p.m. ET. He’ll also share his midyear housing forecast, making it a must-attend for members looking to stay informed

In Summary: Why It Matters

  • Exclusive Access: Only available to NAR members
  • Monthly Updates: Ensures data stays fresh and relevant
  • Broad Coverage: Over 200 metro areas included
  • Dynamic Insights: Covers affordability, prices, sales, economic context, and demographics
  • Custom Visuals: Easy to export and integrate into client-facing materials
  • Comparative Analysis: See your local market versus national benchmarks—especially valuable amid changing mortgage rates
