Current Real Estate Trends Affecting Brokers and Agents

September 8, 2008 · Mark Hasha  

I saw this really interesting list of current real estate trends on Wikipedia. The list is of the top 10 trends that are affecting the way real estate agents are doing business. I wanted to share it with you and over the next couple of weeks add my thoughts and comments on each trend.

The only annual report detailing real estate trends impacting the residential real estate brokerage business lists the following 10 trends as having the largest impact on residential real estate brokers and agents over the next 12 – 18 months.

Trend #1 – Growth of Social Media and Virtual Communities

Trend #2 – The Sub Prime Lending Collapse Driving Rise in Foreclosures

Trend #3 – The Importance of Information in Real Estate Business

Trend #4 – The Changing Borders and Structure of Multiple Listing Services

Trend #5 – The Search for Productivity in a Declining Housing Market

Trend #6 – Growth of Identity Theft in MLS and Increased Data Security Concerns

Trend #7 – Evolving and Changing Real Estate Business Models

Trend #8 – How Existing Large Real Estate Brokers are Expanding

Trend #9 – The Changing DNA of the New Breed of Real Estate Agent

Trend #10 – Rise of Women, Gen X and Minorities in Leadership Roles

I look forward to hearing your comments too.
