CAR invites you to attend a

fall. Each candidate will give a short description of
their background, then share their views on real estate
issues with members of the association and members of
the Eastern Shore Builders Association. Each candidate
will be given two minutes to talk and then we will open
up the meeting to a Q&A session. These events are
FREE and offer a complimentary continental breakfast.
Local media will be on hand to cover the forums as these
will be a few of the rare occasions where all candidates
will be present at one time. YOU

Bigger is the New Big
According to new data released by the U.S.
Census Bureau, new single-family homes have increased in size
by 48% in the past thirty years. The typical American home
buyer continues to build bigger a home, no longer because he
has to, simply because he can. And large houses aren’t the
only thing that have been getting a boost in recent years;
condo and cooperatives are also on the rise, accounting for
almost 6% of the current housing market. Click
