On June 10, 2026, NCJAR members, industry professionals, and guests gathered at Fogo de Chão at Willowbrook Mall in Wayne for an unforgettable evening of networking, celebration, and community.

Hosted by NCJAR's Young Professionals Network (YPN), the Networking Social brought together REALTORS®, affiliates, and industry partners to kick off the summer season while celebrating Pride Month in a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere. Attendees enjoyed delicious appetizers, refreshing drinks from the open bar, and meaningful conversations with colleagues from across the real estate community.

The event provided a wonderful opportunity for members to strengthen existing relationships, make new connections, and exchange ideas in a relaxed and vibrant setting. The energy throughout the evening reflected the strong sense of community that makes NCJAR such a valuable resource for its members.

U.S. existing-home sales edged up 0.2% from the previous month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.02 million, according to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). Sales remained unchanged year-over-year. Regionally, existing-home sales rose in the Midwest and South, were flat in the Northeast, and declined in the West. Year-over-year, sales increased in the South, held steady in the West, and fell in the Northeast and Midwest.
