Synopsis

Thousands of Industry Leaders and Realtors rely on the Swanepoel TRENDS Report to guide their decisions. What do you use?

Get a crystal clear vision of what’s happening and what are the Top 10 Trends impacting the future of the business of real estate. Out of the ‘housing bubble’ of 2006, the ‘subprime ashes’ of 2007 and the ‘mortgage meltdown’ of 2008 we are going to see a whole new real estate industry evolve and develop,” says Stefan Swanepoel, author of the annual Swanepoel TRENDS Report.

Paradigm shifts share one thing in common — they don’t happen overnight. They are slow to develop and change during the process. But there has been pressure on the real estate business to change now for more than a decade. The Internet started shaping the industry in the mid 1990s while the industry also underwent significant consolidation. The 2000-05 housing boom put a hold on all of this, but with the downturn the industry is again facing strong pressure to transform the real estate business fundamentals.

2008 — 2012 is now expected to be the transition years during which the real estate industry will make a major paradigm shift to reinvent the home buying and selling process.
