December 06 2023
There are about 106,000 real estate brokers in America. WAV Group Mergers and Acquisitions leader George Slusser insists that in the market today, "every brokerage should be either a buyer or a seller." For the most part, even when the market size is shrinking, companies can demonstrate their strength by gaining market share.
In the absence of significant recruiting or acquisition activity, brokers' business volume floats with the market. If transaction volume in your market is down 35% year over year, but your business is only down 20%, then you are outpacing the market by 15%. Those are impressive results that will normally show up in market share reports.
Realtor.com just released their 2024 housing market trends that highlights significant areas that are expected to surge next year. If you are thinking of buying or selling in these markets, having some predictive analytics on what will happen in the housing market should temper your opinion of the valuation of a brokerage.
Here are the top 10 markets that Realtor.com expects will have the largest growth in 2024.
It is also very interesting to look at the markets that will struggle for transaction volume. These are the major markets that are expected to continue to lag in transaction volume – but pay very close attention to the change in median home price!
