2022 Mega 1000 reveals ongoing industry consolidation and change
LADERA RANCH, Calif., April 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- T3 Sixty, a real estate management consulting and analytics firm, has released its 2022 Mega 1000, an annual ranking of the nation's 1,000 largest brokerages by sales volume, transaction sides and agent count. The report reveals that this cohort of brokerages accounted for nearly 60 percent of the nation's residential sales volume in 2021.
The 59.2 percent of the nation's total sales volume that the U.S.'s 1,000 largest brokerages accounted for in 2021 represents a growth of 13.4 percent in market share from the year previous (market share is determined using Mega 1000 data and existing home sales data as reported by NAR). That's approximately double the next highest year-over-year growth in Mega 1000 market share since the report debuted in 2018, when the Mega 1000 market share stood at 44.9 percent.
Companies such as Compass, which moved from No. 3 in 2021 to No. 1 in this report, and eXp Realty, which grew sales volume by 116.2 percent from 2020 to 2021 and No. 4, achieved some of the largest growth over this period. Heavyweights Realogy Brokerage Group and HomeServices of America, No. 2 and No. 3, respectively, also anchored the nation's largest brokerages. With eXp Realty's leap, 2021 saw four brokerages top the $100 billion sales volume threshold.

The sales volume market share of the nation's 10 largest brokerages at 23.6 percent in 2021 jumped from 18.8 percent in 2020. The growth in market share represents an increasing concentration of sales volume at the nation's largest brokerages.
