 New in 2009
NAR established the Public Awareness Campaign more than a decade ago to convince home buyers, sellers and investors about the value of working with a REALTOR®. Last year, the campaign expanded its messages to educate consumers about the benefits of homeownership and buying opportunities in a changing real estate market.

The 2009 Public Awareness Campaign commercials focus on motivating buyers into the market. New TV ads, in tandem with new radio spots and print materials, explain the buyer opportunities available in many of today’s real estate markets, convey the financial and social benefits of owning a home, and continue to emphasize the importance of working with a REALTOR®.


Buyer Strenght "Buyer Strength“ explains that current conditions such as low interest rates and available properties put many potential home buyers in a position of strength.

Fence Sitters "Fence Sitters“ encourages people to make home buying decisions based on family needs and local market conditions rather than being influenced by national reports that have little relevance on an individual level.

Home with a View"Home with a View" ” demonstrates that homeownership bestows social benefits as well as financial ones – it’s an investment in your future.


To enhance the campaign’s effectiveness and reach, the ads direct consumers to the campaign’s microsite, www.HousingMarketFacts.com, which educates potential home buyers about the value of homeownership, provides resources and research about the current housing market and industry issues and, of course, helps buyers and sellers find a REALTOR®.

Research Results
Each year the National Association of REALTORS® conducts three separate tracking studies with consumers and members to assess attitudes and perceptions regarding REALTORS®, NAR, and the real estate profession. One of those tracking studies is conducted with Hispanic consumers to specifically assess the effectiveness of the Public Awareness Campaign’s Spanish-language advertising.
