How can real estate agents breakthrough in a changing market
Following the changes made by the Federal Reserve, the U.S. real estate market has also begun to “cool down.” According to U.S. real estate market statistics, many sellers are cutting down their prices significantly, some even by more than 25%. This is in stark contrast to the rise in housing prices during the past two years. Facing the cooling of the housing market and the increasingly serious problem of inflation, people can’t help but wonder: Is the U.S. heading towards a recession? If this negative trend continues, the real estate markets will likely bear the brunt of the recession.Many real estate agents are thus faced with the serious issue of surviving a market that could potentially overturn their livelihood.
With the shift in the current economy and housing markets, how should real estate agents move forward?
Real estate brokerages and agents have seen better days. Although the U.S. housing market has cooled down, the high cost of housing prices and interest rates have greatly reduced the consumer’s willingness to purchase a home. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) indicated that the number of existing home-salescontracts in the United States has dropped by 20% compared to June of last year. This certainly raises great concern from agents, especially since the housing market appears to be heading downward in the near future. Part of the difficulties and challenges real estateagents currentlface stem from the advancement of technology, where sellers would rather work with high-tech companies with lower commissions. Some states have even begun to allow buyers to cover their own agent’s commission, which makes being an agent more difficult and unprofitable. Some predict that if this trend continues, more than 50% of the real estate companies and agents will be out of business within three years, and a large number of real estate agents will eventually fall victim to this “real estate market torrent.”
