Let’s talk about 2025! As usual, big things are on the horizon in real estate thanks to emerging trends, shifting economics and changing consumer demands.
From the BBS Notary team, here are four things we should all know about when it comes to serving our clients better next year.
1. AI and automation will continue to revolutionize our industries
Technology will continue to revolutionize how properties are bought and sold. Expect artificial intelligence (AI) tools to streamline processes like home appraisals, virtual showings and even contract negotiations.
● Impact: Faster, more transparent transactions may make real estate more accessible for first-time buyers.
● Challenges: Agents and brokers will need to adapt by integrating AI tools into their workflows without losing the personal touch clients value.

2. Inventory will continue to be a hot topic in real estate
Though some improvement is predicted, the ongoing inventory crunch is unlikely to ease significantly by 2025 due to a combination of factors: slow construction rates, Baby Boomers aging in place and rising demand from millennial and Gen Z buyers.
● Impact: Housing affordability will remain a hot-button issue, with buyers competing fiercely for limited supply.
● Advice for Buyers and Sellers:
○ Buyers: Be prepared to act quickly in competitive markets.
○ Sellers: Focus on renovations that add value to attract motivated buyers.

3. Sustainability will continue to be a selling point.
Environmental consciousness is expected to play an even larger role in real estate decisions in 2025. Green building certifications, energy-efficient features and renewable energy options will become standard in many new developments.
● Impact: Homes with solar panels, smart thermostats and eco-friendly materials could command higher prices and shorter time on the market.
● Advice for Realtors: Market the environmental benefits of properties and educate clients on tax incentives for green upgrades.
