Challenges Facing Real Estate Agents
The real estate market is experiencing significant challenges, particularly for real estate agents, as existing home sales remain at multi-decade lows. Agents affiliated with Anywhere Real Estate are reportedly conducting an average of only five transactions per year, translating to less than one deal every two months. This figure has decreased by roughly one-third over the past five years, highlighting the competitive nature of the market, with 1.5 million licensed agents vying for only 4 million existing home sales. These conditions are expected to lead many agents to leave the industry, exacerbating the strain on traditional brokerages that depend on agent productivity for revenue.
