Part II: A Discussion About Property Management & Lease Agreements
Christal Park Keegan, NVR Legal Information Line Attorney
The article in the adjacent link addresses a popular issue often discussed on the Legal Information Line. NVR Legal Information Line Attorney Christal Keegan touches on a key question during this current busy real estate era -- what's the difference between a property manager's range of authority to act for the landlord rather than the usual authority afforded to a listing broker?

Blame fewer homes for sale as the culprit behind the most recent decrease in contract signings, not lessening demand, a new report from the National Association of REALTORS® suggests. NAR's Pending Home Sales Index-a forward-looking indicator of home sales based on contract signings-fell 3.8% in December 2021 compared to November. Contract signings were down 6.9% year-over-year.
Yet, despite last month's slide in contract signings, NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun says 2021 still marked a great year for housing sales and price appreciation. Read the full article, including what's ahead for housing by clicking here.
New report finds that the average home seller raked in a profit of $94,092 last year
U.S. home sellers made a pretty penny in 2021, with the nationwide realized profit growing by 45% year-over-year, according to a new analysis published by real estate data vendor ATTOM this week. Per ATTOM's year-end home sales report, on average home sellers raked in a profit of $94,092 on a typical home sale last year, up from $64,931 in 2020. For comparison sake, in 2019 a home seller's realized profit averaged out to about $55,000, the report said.
ATTOM noted that rising home prices and profits were driven primarily by a combination of historically low interest rates and a desire by many households to trade congested virus-prone areas for the perceived safety and wider spaces of a single-family home. (The national median home price also grew by 16.9% in 2021 to $301,000-an annual record, the report added.) Click here to continue reading.
