The National Association of Realtors (NAR) recently conducted a survey with 2,211 of its members of how the current government shutdown is impacting their members and their business.

While 75% said that it is not affecting their business, 11% did report an impact on their current clients.

Among those impacted 17% had a closing delay due to a USDA loan.
