The leading voice for real estate in North Carolina

NC REALTORS®’ advocacy team tracks numerous bills during the legislative session based on legislative priorities established by the NC REALTORS® Legislative Committee.

NC REALTORS® also monitors regulatory issues discussed at the NC Real Estate Commission, NC Appraisal Board and the NC Home Professional Licensure Board.

Addressing North Carolina Housing Crisis

• House Bill 562 –Addressing the Workforce Housing Crisis
• House Bill 409 – Regulation of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)

Housing needs in North Carolina demand immediate attention and sound policy to address the lack of housing availability, especially workforce housing. Population growth is exceeding housing production, which is increasing the cost of homes, outpacing salary and inflation increases.

Short Term Rental Regulations

• Senate Bill 667 – Regulation of Short Term Rentals

Property owners should not face restrictions on who they are allowed to rent their property to. Local governments should not regulate or place restrictions that limit the duration or location of short term rentals.

Practical Applications of Real Estate Appraisal (PAREA)

• House Bill 48 – PAREA Implementation Delay

More than 1,500 NC REALTORS® are licensed appraisers. Appraisals are an important part of real estate transactions as they determine the value of most peoples’ largest assets. A yet-to-be released new Federal training program has been adopted by the NC Appraisal Board.  With the national scrutiny facing the profession, any program that brings changes should be examined to ensure future licensees are adequately trained to protect the public.
