Industry SpotlightReal Estate Businesses

The real estate business is a diverse industry, including the major sectors of real estate brokerage, property management and leasing. As an industry, the real estate business is open to competition and is friendly to smaller businesses: 50 of the largest real estate companies account for around just 30% of the industry's market share.

Real estate businesses will continue to be in demand through the coming years. Financing and lending conditions have improved greatly, and the recovered economy is motivating a large, young generation toward home ownership, along with many older multiple homeowners. According to the National Association of Realtors, in 2015, first-time homebuyers cited "a desire to own a home of their own" as the most important factor in making their purchase.

The future is also bright for commercial real estate firms dealing with apartments, retail spaces and office locations. Commercial rents are rising and will continue to increase by up to 4% in 2017. Commercial real estate sales prices, sales volume, leasing rates and leasing volume have all increased significantly.

Although information about property is more available than ever, buyers and sellers will continue to need the expertise, skills and services that only real estate professionals can provide.
