It's going to be a tough year for real estate.

Con - less action this year.

Pro - If you can cut your teeth this year, you have a great chance of having a quality career.

Good luck, it's an awesome field!

My market is very much investment-property heavy and all the agents I’ve spoken with have talked about how the “beach is insulated,” but I do agree it’ll be a low year. Thanks for the good luck!

Why do you say less action this year?

While all areas are different, as a whole prices are down due to higher interest rates lowing motivation for a lot of sellers. The industry is contracting some this year which will force lazy agents out. This is something noticeable in how many mortgage companies are going out of business. It will of course rebound, but 2023 will be tight for a lot of markets.

Lending rates are climbing, which means it’s harder for people to get loans to buy property with. And sellers don’t want to let go because they haven’t really realized that their property is actually dropping in value, also they don’t want to sell because they want to put their money somewhere else but don’t want to pay the ridiculously high rates
