How many Realtors in the U.S.?

As of now, the US Realtor population stands at 1,566,000; a decrease from previous numbers. It reached its highest number of members in October 2022, when there were 1.6 million people enrolled. Ten years prior, there were only 1 million signed up. Membership had its highest point prior to the economic downturn in housing, then declined again. These numbers are likely to decrease further. I am aware of some individuals who initiated dealing in real estate this year and are currently employed full-time, but still occasionally engage in the real estate business.

When the interest rates rose in the previous year, a decrease in house sales occurred. Potentially, the same could happen this year. not to be anxious, there are still plenty of Realtor members to manage the job. The membership will reach its maximum point again in the 2030s following a minor decrease.

Most people did not expect to end up in real estate. We have attained higher levels of education and held jobs from various professions. My relatives and acquaintances were taken aback when I made up my mind to obtain a real estate license in 2001.

Florida has the highest number of Realtors with a count of over 222,000, trailed by California which has 202,000. 

An individual who belongs to the National Association of Realtors is referred to as a Realtor.

How many homes sold in the U.S.?

There were over 7 million homes sold in 2005. Home sales have been down from that every year since at around 5.5 million. They rose in 2021 to 6.12 million and are projected to be 5.95 million this year and 6.07 million next year.

It is important to keep in mind that 2021 was a good year for home sales, which means that the numbers for 2022 will be lower and so will the numbers for 2023.

will there be more Realtors next year?

There is some speculation that the number of Realtors will decline next year. Generally, membership does decline after several months of decreases in home sales but membership numbers are also influenced by the unemployment rate. If there are fewer jobs more people become real estate agents.

Most real estate agents are independent contractors and work on a 100% commission basis with no benefits.  Commissions are not guaranteed and are only paid after the successful closing of a home sale.

A person needs a real estate license to sell real estate for others for a fee but does not need to be a member of the National Association of Realtors.

From a fellow real estate blogger:

Earlier today I was chatting with a random stranger. Oddly enough the topic of real estate came up. Random stranger said he’d often pondered getting his real estate license.

I tried to wave the guy off, but he wouldn’t listen.

He asked me a question that I couldn’t answer…

How many Realtors are there per capita, and how does Arizona compare to other states?

Here are the results:

I thought it would be interesting to see where Massachusetts would rank on this list. I mean lets face it, everyone I seem to meet is either; student, lawyer or Realtor (I think I need to socialize more).

Based on the National Association of Realtors (NAR) Monthly Membership Report for July 2010, Massachusetts has 19,422 Realtors. According to the U.S. Census Bureau Massachusetts has a population of 6,593,587. If I calculate (I hope I don’t mess this up) there is one Realtor for every 339 people living in Massachusetts.

File Under: We need a larger population.
