What’s Covered in the Report?

– Who are today’s home buyers and sellers?
– Do they use the services of a REALTOR®?
– What challenges are holding potential buyers back?
– What do buyers value most when choosing an agent?
– What role does the internet play in the process?

Why This Matters Now
The cutoff date for this year’s survey was June 30th, meaning the impact of the August 17th settlement changes wasn’t factored in. Comparing this year’s findings to next year’s will be particularly revealing, especially for buyer-side transactions. Sellers, too, will likely see evolving trends worth monitoring.
