🏡 State of the Housing Market 2025 — Gary Keller

“Real estate is in a recession. The U.S. isn’t. But our market is.” – Gary Keller, Keller Williams Co-Founder.

📉 The Catch-22

Lower interest rates → more buyers → higher home prices.

Higher rates → fewer buyers → slower market. Either way, affordability remains the challenge.

📊 The Economic Dilemma The U.S. faces stagflation: unemployment rising 📈 while inflation also rises 📈. The Fed must choose — fight job loss or fight inflation — but the tools for one often hurt the other.

💡 Keller’s Advice for Agents

Get real & get right: Face reality, adapt fast.

Double down on lead generation.

Master the basics — follow-ups, relationships, consistency.

Think long term: If you can afford it, a 10+ year hold strategy works.

🔮 Outlook Keller predicts by Q3 2026, we’ll know if we’re rebounding or staying in longer. Until then, there’s opportunity: sales volumes are steady, and investors are active.

🚀 “Empires are being built right now… off the bones of those who won’t get out of bed and do the work.”

“🚨 Real Estate Shift: Homes for One Are the Next Big Market”

From young professionals to senior “solo agers,” living alone is becoming the fastest-growing household type — now nearly 30% of U.S. homes, and rising worldwide.

📊 The problem? Developers still focus on big family houses (~2,400 sq ft) while demand for small, well-located, low-maintenance homes keeps growing.

💡 Solo renters want amenity-rich spaces: gyms, co-working areas, concierge, pet care. 👵 Older solo adults are driving demand for senior housing designed for independence + connection.

✅ Opportunity: Bet big on small. Build for one, serve many.

🧠 From Reels to Real Estate: How Gen Z Is Reshaping the Property Market

Gen Z isn’t just scrolling through homes—they’re buying them.

🏚️ Affordable Housing in Crisis: Proposed Budget Cuts Put Millions at Risk

The future of affordable housing in America is now hanging in the balance.

A newly proposed budget from the Trump administration includes deep cuts of up to $27 billion to federal rental assistance programs — including the critical Section 8 housing vouchers — raising alarms across the housing industry and among developers, lenders, and families alike.

These cuts would reduce funding for the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) by more than 40%, potentially impacting over 5 million low-income Americans who depend on rental subsidies to afford a place to live.

🔍 What’s Happening?

Developers are hitting pause. Projects across the country are being delayed or canceled due to uncertainty around future funding. From New York to Arizona, housing projects for seniors, veterans, and working-class families are now on hold.

Banks are backing off. Lenders are becoming more hesitant to finance new developments without assurance that tenants will have federal support to cover rent.

Risk to mortgage giants. With up to $50 billion in multifamily loans tied to rental assistance, even institutions like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could face increased exposure.

📣 Why It Matters

This isn’t just a budget line — it’s a lifeline for millions.

If these cuts move forward, we’re not just slowing down housing construction. We’re potentially pushing millions closer to homelessness, destabilizing the rental market, and threatening broader economic recovery in vulnerable communities.

🏨 JLL Exits High-Profile Sale of New York’s Roosevelt Hotel

Global real estate services firm Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) has withdrawn from its advisory role in the sale of the iconic Roosevelt Hotel in New York City — a historic 1,000-room property owned by Pakistan International Airlines (PIA).

The sale was part of Pakistan’s broader privatization program, which aligns with its $7 billion agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

📌 Why did JLL step down? According to a statement from Pakistan’s government, the decision was made due to a "potential conflict of interest." A new financial advisor will be appointed to continue the process.

🌍 Why it matters: This development raises important questions about cross-border asset divestment, advisory ethics, and the future of landmark properties in global cities like New York.

➡️ Who will take over as advisor? ➡️ Will the deal proceed amid shifting market conditions and political scrutiny?

🏗️ Land banking is back — and it's reshaping how homes are built in America.

In response to soaring land costs and unpredictable housing demand, major U.S. homebuilders are quietly reviving an old strategy: land banking.

🔍 What is land banking?

Instead of owning land outright, builders partner with private equity firms or landowners who hold the land and sell back development rights when needed. This approach helps builders:

Cut upfront costs

Reduce financial risk

Build more flexibly in uncertain markets

🏘️ With mortgage rates staying high and buyer demand fluctuating, this model gives developers breathing room while keeping future supply pipelines intact.

💡 Land banking isn’t new, but it’s being refined. Firms like Walton Global and Landsea Homes are using it to scale smarter, not riskier.

💬 What’s your take on land banking? Smart strategy or risky bet?

🏠 Homebuilders Slash Prices at Highest Rate in 3 Years

Struggling to attract buyers, U.S. homebuilders are offering their boldest discounts since 2022.

Average discounts hover around 5%, often coupled with mortgage rate buydowns and closing-cost incentives
