For weeks, the eyes of real estate's agents and leadership were on the Sitzer | Burnett trial. Inman Intel's latest sentiment survey of real estate's rank and file reveals anxiety in the wake of the commission trial as well as the impact of interest rates.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Nov. 20, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The October Inman Intel Index (aka Triple-I) survey results are out, offering hundreds of new insights gleaned from nearly 1,300 stakeholders across America's residential real estate industry.
"These are chaotic and challenging times in the real estate industry, and these survey results help us better understand the challenges. This is why we think the Triple-I is valuable for decision makers," said Chris LeBarton, Inman Director of Research. "This sentiment is as close to real-time as possible, and it will be interesting to see what November brings."
The leading source for real estate news, Inman posed unique questions to agents, loan originators, real estate & mortgage executives, and proptech players that again provided essential takeaways for industry decision-makers. But the Triple-I found one tie, interest rates, which continues to bind nearly every real estate professional – today and in their outlooks for 2024.
Interest rates still hang heavy around the real estate industry's collective neck. Per Inman Triple-I:
- Four out of five survey groups said interest rates are their top business concern.
- Mortgage pros, maybe the surprising exception, ranked interest rates second.
- Real estate agents and execs, surveyed during the Sitzer | Burnett trial, both put interest rates first even with 'commission lawsuit fallout' as an option.
- Real estate, mortgage and proptech executives remain hampered by costly cash. Asked about the cost and availability of capital today vs. 12 months ago, over 55% of business leaders either felt worse or the same but were pessimistic.
- There was more optimism expressed about raising capital 12 months from now. The percentage of respondents who said they felt better jumped five-fold.
Running concurrently with the Sitzer | Burnett trial, a real estate commissions case that may forever alter the residential real estate industry, the October Triple-I generated unmatched insights. Over 1,000 agents, broker-owners and real estate executives participated, offering real-time answers from the stakeholders most impacted by the lawsuit's verdict.
Full results, presented in a 142-page presentation, and comprehensive reporting are available exclusively to Inman Intel subscribers.
