And going forward, it will offer other resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe find that our members work very hard for 30 years and in the end they don\u2019t have anything to show for it,\u201d NAR President Bill Brown says. \u201cThat\u2019s why we\u2019d like our members to start thinking about the future now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NAR\u2019s effort on retirement is a top story in the latest Voice for Real Estate news video. The video also looks at the recent jump in mortgage interest rates. Although they\u2019re still historically low, they are moving up quickly. After being at around 3.5 percent for many months, over the last few weeks they\u2019ve risen to about 4 percent. That\u2019s driven in part by a rise in bond yields, which are pricing in anticipated stimulus action in Washington under a new Administration and Congress. \u201cAny time interest rates rise, it is a hindrance to home buying,\u201d says NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun.<\/p>\n<p>Yun thinks that will be partly offset by positive growth stemming from any stimulus effect of the federal policy changes (like reduced taxes, deregulation, and increased infrastructure spending). Also working in favor of today\u2019s market is relatively strong job and wage growth. As long as these indicators stay positive, negative effects of higher rates will be offset to a degree.<\/p>\n<p>The video also looks at what is expected to happen in Congress over the next month, during the lame-duck session, as lawmakers finalize last-minute legislation. NAR Deputy Chief Lobbyist Jamie Gregory says the agenda will likely be minimal, focused mainly on passing a short-term measure to fund the federal government until lawmakers and the Administration start tackling big-ticket items early next year like tax reform and reform of the secondary mortgage market.<\/p>\n<p>The video also looks at what coming tax reform could look like for commercial real estate. Among other things, look for changes to be proposed for the expensing of business interest, treatment of carried interest, 1031 tax-deferred exchanges, and depreciation of property assets. Also, look for broad reductions in tax rates and more infrastructure spending.<\/p>\n<p>Also covered in the video is a look at a bifurcation in commercial real estate markets, with smaller markers continuing to see increased transactions while in larger markets transactions are slowing down.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014By , REALTOR\u00ae Magazine<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019re Not Investing in Real Estate? &nbsp; Most real estate professionals are independent contractors, which means they\u2019re largely on their own when it comes to putting money away for retirement.
