"Who Knows Your Market Better than YOU?!" 

RealtorWho knows the real estate market better than REALTORS�? NJAR� is seeking REALTORS� who are interested in participating in a short, 5-6 question monthly housing market survey.  The New Jersey REALTOR� Market Index (RMI) is based on information provided by the experts (REALTORS�!) about various aspects of the New Jersey residential real estate market.  The survey results will help NJAR� get beyond the numbers to tell the REAL story to important stakeholders, such as the media and government officials, and can address concerns of potential buyers about where the market is heading. 
Sign up at: http://www.njar.com/research_statistics/marketIndexSurvey.php  to lend your expertise TODAY!"  If you have any questions on this program, please contact NJAR� Director of Communications Lauren Castellano at [email protected] or 732-494-4709.  
Congress to Extend Flood Insurance for Seven Weeks 
On September 26, 2011, the Senate passed the Continuing Appropriations Act (H.R. 2608), which includes a provision extending the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) until Nov. 18, 2011. This week, the House is expected to approve this extension and has ensured that there will be no lapse in NFIP authority in the interim. NAR is urging Congress to finish its work on the 5-year reauthorization bill (H.R. 1309) before this latest extension ends, to provide certainty and avoid further disruption to real estate markets.
