Trends
The real estate market is no different from any other
sector, it is subject to changes and trends due to technology, the economy,
government regulations and social developments.
These have been particularly prevalent over the past
decade or so. It should be noted that the information below is of a very
general nature and mainly relevant to the US.
Property Prices
Since World War II, property prices had been rising
year-on-year at a rate of between 2-5%. This continued throughout the period
until the mid-2000s, when property prices began to show a general decline.
There are signs that the market has begun to change again, with prices seeming
to be on the rise.
Buyer Agents
Until the 1990’s, it was the case that real estate agents
would be working for the seller in most cases. This all changed with the entry
onto the market of buyer agencies, estate agents who would be representing the
buyer rather than the seller. With a perhaps more professional negotiator on
their side, it's not surprising that house prices could be negotiated lower
when a buyer agent was involved.
Agents Commission
As the real estate agency market has become increasingly
competitive, real estate agents have started to introduce fixed rate fees to
replace the traditional commissions.
Technology
The changes in technology have impacted the real estate
agent arena as well. The internet has become the single most popular means to
study property, with 90% of buyers using it.
That said, 85% of buyers still enlist the help of an
estate agent when considering buying a property. Another development has been
the increasing use of cell phone apps to market properties.
Competition
The US Government has also played its part in impacting
the market. It has continued to educate consumers and other stakeholders on the
importance of free competition in the real estate market. Studies have shown
that in states where open competition is the norm fees can be thousands of
dollars less than in states where it was not.
The real estate market has seen some relatively
significant changes in the past decade or so, and as technological, economic
and social changes continue, it is likely it will see more in the next decade.
