Owning a home is the dream of most American households. It is well documented that homeownership provides wealth to the inhabitants, but also helps ensure the financial stability of future generations as well.
Currently, there is a considerable wealth gap between white households and black households, even among homeowners. Recent research suggests that the way homes are valued might play a factor in exacerbating that inequality.
Where does the source of this problem lie? How can it be fixed? On August 5, NAR’s panelists listed below delved deeply into the subject and presented solutions that maintain a fair and equitable system for valuing real estate.
