"The real question for next year is whether the market will shift before or after the election and how agents can prepare now. If you're waiting for interest rates to drop before buying, you might end up paying more when competition heats up.”
The property market stands at an interesting point as we move into 2025: Will smart tech speed up sales? How might the election shift buyer behaviour? And what happens to prices when interest rates drop?
In this episode of the Elevate Podcast with Samantha McLean, Matt Lahood, co-founder and CEO of The Agency, shares his thoughts on the current market conditions and his vision for what’s in store for agents in 2025.
Together, they explore market bottlenecks, changing buyer behaviour, and strategies for navigating the challenges of today's high-interest-rate environment.
Matt shares his insights on leveraging technology, preparing for the election year’s impact on sales cycles and why timing is critical for sellers.
With sustainability initiatives and AI front and centre, Matt outlines how agents can embrace the future while keeping the human touch.
