MD: Message to Officials, “Don’t Forget I Vote Too”
Oliver Henderson of the Howard County Association of Realtors, released a report examining real estate market conditions. It also served to document the economic importance of the real estate industry. As election season nears, he wants officials to remember the contributions that the real estate industry is making.
The report highlights that last year alone, the real estate industry in Howard County:
- Paid wages in excess of $155.5 million.
- Generated $83.2 million in local, federal and state taxes.
- Constructed almost 1,600 single-family and multifamily housing units, creating hundreds of jobs.
- Spurred millions of dollars more in related spending on things such as home repair, furnishings and appliances.
These numbers are based on a single county….just imagine the contribution made by the real estate industry on a national level.
