In recent developments, NVAR announced a partnership with Keeping Current Matters (KCM) in January 2026, offering members complimentary access to video platforms and market insights to enhance client communication. The Northern Virginia housing market demonstrated resilience in March 2026 with strong sales growth, prompting NVAR to launch its NOVA Housing Supply Framework. This initiative aims to increase housing supply, protect affordability, and maintain the region's economic competitiveness. The association is governed by a Board of Directors responsible for strategic direction and policy oversight. [9, 10, 20, 21]
