Yahoo Finance has released an article reporting the top 10 American industries that may not recover from our recession. Realtors came in at number nine as of November 2010.

9. Realtors. The National Association of Realtors reports that there were 1,370,758 realtors in October 2006 — the peak of the market. By the end of 2007, the figure was below 1.2 million. The number is below 1.1 million today and has continued on a downward trend. Home prices have dropped so far and so few homes are sold, that the ability to make money in the business disappears by the day.

Although I am OK with the decline in the number of Realtors in today’s market, this is a scary statistic. As a Realtor I am self-employed and my success depends on you! If you or your friends and family are thinking of buying or selling a home, contact me.
