COLONIE — Slowing housing markets statewide did not scare many Realtors into retreat in 2007, keeping the New York Association of Realtors’ membership nearly unchanged over the year.
But Realtor membership in the greater Capital Region increased to a record high — bucking the effects of a slower market and defying predictions.
During a year when New York’s annual pace of single-family home sales declined 8.5 percent and its median sale price slipped 4.4 percent, NYSAR ended 2007 with 1.46 percent fewer members.
