NAR's Commercial Leading Indicator
Where is the commercial real estate market headed? To help answer the question, NAR has developed a Commercial Leading Indicator (CLI) designed to provide early signals of turning points - peaks and troughs - between expansions and slowdowns of commercial real estate activity.

Economic Indicators
NAR's analysis of housing and economic indicators provides real estate professionals with tools to interpret the market and apply that knowledge to their business. In addition to NAR’s own existing-home sales series, NAR Research monitors other indicators such as new-home sales, housing starts, producer prices, mortgage rates and more.

General Economic Concepts and Their Impact
