Investment Opportunities in 2025
Real estate investors are starting to recognize the significant opportunities that lie ahead in 2025 amid changing market conditions. Supply-demand fundamentals favor buyers, as there is a historically low number of new housing starts coupled with increasing demand from both millennials and baby boomers. The aging population is less inclined to sell their homes, creating a pent-up demand for housing. Furthermore, with the potential for upcoming interest rate cuts and favorable real estate policies, investors should be positioned to benefit from a recovering market in the next few years.
