The real estate market is constantly changing and that's why we think alll real estate agents should learn these 5 ways to stay up to date on real estate market trends order to make informed decisions and provide excellent service to their buyers and sellers. Whether that be putting in an accurate and winning offer or properly listing a home so the sellers make the most bang for their buck.
Here are five ways to stay informed about real estate market trends:
Local Real Estate Associations
Your local Real Estate Association is most likely to have up to date market news that is specific to your area! While websites like nar.realtor are a great source of news in the industry, make sure to pay attention to what is happening in your specific area.
Each location on a map is unique and market conditions will be at least slightly different according to where you are and what you are surrounded by.
Real Estate Blogs
Many real estate professionals and agencies now maintain a blog (just like the one you are reading now). Following along with these blogs can give you a more nuanced understanding of the market!
We are all just people learning and trying to keep up with the rapidly changing market, so why not learn from others who are going through the same things? Just remember to really think about what sources you are reading and not to trust just anyone who puts content on their website!
Social Media
Many real estate professionals, influencers, and agencies will share up to date market information on all sorts of social media platforms. Keep an eye out on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and even Pinterest for different industry professionals.
Make sure to follow along if you like someone’s content so you will be in the know for future posts and news from them!
*Bonus note: If you add all the best accounts to your favorites list on Instagram, you can change your feed to only show this list and stay in the zone when researching the industry!
Google Alerts
Set. Up. Google. Alerts!
Yep, take the time to set up Google Alerts for specific keywords and Google will send you email notifications whenever content with your keywords it published online. You can follow instructions HERE to get that set up.
You may have to be specific with your keywords and possibly sift through a couple odd articles, but this is a great way to learn news as soon as it’s published to the internet.
Attend Real Estate Events
Events, seminars, and workshops are a great way to connect with industry leaders and professionals. This is also a great way to connect and network with other industry professionals!
We get it, taking “time off” work to get on a plane and head to a conference can be a lot. Fortunately, there should be local conferences and classes being taught in your area, whether they be a few hours long or just a weekend.
Bottom line:
There are so many ways to stay up to date with market trends! This is our second blog post about it because we just had to come back and share more ideas.
