NAR Strategic Plan: Q1 2026 Update

On Tuesday, April 21st, NAR issued its first quarterly report for the 2026–2028 Strategic Plan.

When NAR introduced this plan, they committed that this would be a plan built for execution, not a shelf document.
This quarterly update offers a transparent view of the progress of what’s in the works, what’s being delivered, and how members can actually see and feel this in their day-to-day work. 

Progress Snapshot
  • Housing Supply
    Advanced policy and research efforts to support more housing opportunities. 
  • REALTOR® Brand
    Launched Right by you and advanced brand protection work. 
  • Broker Engagement
    Delivered practical, broker-driven offerings while engaging with brokers across the country. 
  • Education
    Selected a new learning management system and began a three-year education roadmap.
  • Partnerships
    Expanded partnerships to strengthen member value and advocacy messaging. 
  • MLS Collaboration

  • Governance
