Although the future seems cloudy, the real estate market is inevitably witnessing some substantial shifts. To begin, there is a fresh wave of purchasers entering the sector. With many millennial generation members now in their prime homebuying years, only so many starter homes are available. Institutional investors, who are a rising portion of the real estate industry, have joined this new group. As a result, businesses bought 13% of the properties in 2021. 


The market is also affected by governmental policies and legislation. These policies and incentives might temporarily boost the demand for housing. While temporary, such measures and incentives as the first-time homebuyer tax credit of 2009 were effective in reversing a downward trend and opening up new chances for consumers. However, the program did encourage 900,000 people to buy a home during its limited availability (it was only offered from 2008-2010).


The shifting demographics of the building's tenants are another force behind the transformation. Millennials have a tendency to favor cheaper cities, although this is not always the case. Moreover, the majority of the upcoming renters will be Hispanic. Consequently, the industry's demographics will shift, and the clientele will become more diversified.


The state of the economy is yet another element with a say in the market. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP), labor market statistics, industrial output, and consumer price indexes are all indicators of these conditions. A home or other real estate price may go up or down dramatically after significant renovations.


The impact of climate change on property values is another important consideration. Real estate investors now have a legal responsibility to track their properties' carbon footprints and take steps to reduce those emissions. Inevitably, greener construction practices will become the norm due to these rules. Furthermore, the ESG policy requires that real estate investors think about environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues, such as energy consumption and trash production. As a result, many businesses are implementing ESG policies and practices to maintain a competitive edge.


If the economy is doing well, then so should the housing market. When people's incomes and jobs improve, they have more disposable income for housing. However, increased costs may make home ownership unaffordable for some. The worry of losing one's job might also discourage home purchases, which can eventually lead to foreclosure. Remembering that prices could decrease if the housing market doesn't keep expanding is crucial.


While there is still a massive issue with housing affordability in the United States, innovative solutions for meeting the demand for rental housing are emerging. Single-family rental homes owned by an institution are one solution. The percentage of rental properties owned by institutional investors is low (2%) but rising. By 2035, the United States will require more than four million rental units. It will therefore be necessary for companies to collaborate to establish a setting that encourages construction.
