Welcome to Capitol & Market, our all-member source for industry and advocacy news, legal updates, housing market insights, education and professional development opportunities for Indiana REALTORS®.

The Indiana REALTORS® annual Summer Summit brings the real estate industry together outside Indianapolis to showcase our thriving communities, explore unique market trends and hear from colleagues, partners and experts working across the state.

This summer’s theme is “Recreation and Relocation” – how Indiana cities and towns are leveraging their natural assets and amenities to attract visitors, events and new homeowners.

And our 2025 Summer Summit host city is the historic riverfront community of Madison, Indiana. It's a scenic setting to soak up a two-day program on the connections between hospitality and homeownership. (And we've added an optional CE opportunity on Indiana agency law - a timely refresher for every broker!)

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the State Capitol on January 27th for the installation of your 2025 IAR leadership team and Board of Directors! If you weren't able to be there in person, check out this video recap:

NAR's 2026 committee application website opens on March 3rd and closes on May 15th: Consider representing Indiana and sharing your expertise by applying for an NAR committee! (And remember, NAR committee participation is one of the requirements to be eligible for emeritus member status.) 

(If you already serve, check your term: Current committee members whose terms expire in 2025 must submit an application to be considered for a new appointment in 2026. Those with continued multi-year appointments do not need to reapply.)   

If you're new to the process, start by creating or updating your Expertise Profile. Think of this as your résumé. Updating your Expertise Profile helps tell NAR where you might be a great fit.
