The latest National Association of REALTORS® 2025 Snapshot of Race and Home Buying in America reveals that Black homeownership saw the biggest year-over-year increase in 2023, rising to 44.7% (+0.6 percentage points). Yet, the homeownership gap remains stark, with White homeownership at 72.4% and Black buyers facing higher mortgage denial rates and greater housing cost burdens in most states. Realtors and policymakers must push for fair housing laws, zoning reforms and first-time buyer assistance to expand homeownership opportunities for all.

The New York State Fire Prevention and Building Code Council recently removed its mandate to require automatic fire sprinkler systems in new one- and two-family home construction with less than three stories from its Uniform Code update. This mandate would have increased the cost of new residential housing construction by as much as $30,000. After long opposition to this mandate, REALTORS® can now claim victory in this important fight to increase housing inventory and affordability in New York State. This victory highlights the power of REALTORS® working together to protect homeownership affordability and expand housing opportunities across New York State. HGAR and New York State Association of REALTORS, Inc. have been working diligently on this issue, and it's rewarding to see how our advocacy efforts can make a real difference.
