NAR Launches
Exhibit Celebrating
Innovative Solution
to Veteran
Homelessness

Mark Solomon, 2019 Good Neighbor Award Winner Immersive, pop-up installation called The Battle Home
and co-founder of Veterans Community Project, being is unveiled in Kansas City's Union Station.
interviewed by a Kansas City TV station.
In honor of the 20th year of the Good Neighbor Awards, the National Association of REALTORS® is celebrating the impact of each of the
five 2019 winners in their hometowns. Mark Solomon, a REALTOR® and combat Veteran, is one of five Good Neighbor Award winners
honored in 2019 for making an extraordinary impact as a volunteer. NAR is recognizing Solomon with a pop-up art installation in Kansas
City’s Union Station for his work as cofounder of Veterans Community Project (VCP), which works to eliminate Veteran homelessness. Since
2018, VCP has built 49 tiny homes in Kansas City, Mo., and provides comprehensive services to battle Veteran homelessness.
"The Battle Home" is an experiential installation and replica of the tiny homes that VCP builds for Veterans. According to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development, on any given night, more than 37,000 Veterans are living on the streets across the U.S.
The installation brings this sensitive issue to life using "bricks" constructed from a fabric that is often representative of the Veteran
homeless experience—sleeping bags. Videos tell the true stories of 11 homeless Veterans’ journeys from living on the street to living in a
tiny home with VCP. The exhibit will run through August 14 in Kansas City, then will go on the road with VCP in the future.

Debunking 3 Coronavirus Real Estate Myths
Some Americans may be under the impression that high unemployment rates and recession are prompting a gloomy housing picture. They’re wrong.
Home buyers may be in for a surprise, and homeowners may be missing out on opportunities if they fall for some common myths going around about the
housing market. Consider these two headlines based on housing reports from the National Association of REALTORS® alone: Contract Signings Make a
‘Remarkable’ Move and Existing-Home Sales Surge to Record Pace in June. Realtor.com® highlights a few common COVID-19-related myths that may
need some debunking:
Myth #1: It’s a bad time to sell a home.
After all, homeowners may be skittish with unemployment so high and a pandemic raging on. How could it possibly be a good time to sell? The reality is,
buyers are frantically wanting a place to call home, but many homeowners are choosing not to sell. New-home listings plunged 14% in early July
compared to a year ago. The total inventory is 32% lower year over year, according to realtor.com®’s Weekly Housing Trends report for July 11.
Myth #2: Home prices are dropping.
Home prices are actually rising. During the first quarter of 2020, the national median price for single-family homes increased by 7.7% to $274,600.
“We’re seeing home prices grow faster than pre-COVID-19,” Hale says. “In fact, they are on pace with the home price growth we saw this time last
year.” Record low mortgage rates boost buying power, Yun adds. “And when combined with a lack of supply will result in higher and higher home
prices,” he says.
Myth #3: Everyone is rushing to the suburbs.
Urban centers certainly pose more challenges for social distancing during a pandemic than less densely populated areas. Overall, listings in the suburbs
are showing higher interest nationwide. In May, the number of views on properties in suburban ZIP codes rose 13%—nearly double the views that listings
in urban areas received, according to realtor.com® research. “We have seen homebuying demand recover faster in the suburbs and rural areas than
urban areas,” Hale says. “There’s also evidence of home shoppers in cities that were hit early and hard by COVID-19, such as New York and
Philadelphia, are seeking homes in nearby smaller communities at a higher pace, like the Poconos.” That said, not everyone is leaving the city. This may be
partially centered to the wealthy, who can afford to do so. Also, it’s not easy for everyone to pick up and move.
“This pandemic, although bad, will eventually pass," Karl Jacob, CEO of LoanSnap, told realtor.com®. "And when it does, are people really going to stop
wanting to be in a city? I just don't think that's the case. Even though you can get delivery from GrubHub every night, it doesn't mean you're never going
to want to go out to a restaurant, and if you have to drive 30 minutes to a restaurant versus being able to walk around the corner, that's a different
lifestyle." To read the entire article visit: https://magazine.realtor/daily-news/2020/07/30/debunking-3-coronavirus-real-estate-myths
