Trend 09 - 
The Impact of New Construction
A years-long relatively low level of new home construction has significantly contributed to the industry’s years-long inventory shortage. This imbalance significantly contributes to a shortage of homes for sale, which greatly impacts real estate activity and has been a major factor in the sustained upward surge in prices. This chapter dives into the homebuilding industry, how it operates and its role in the current housing inventory shortage.
Trend 08 - 
The Residential Real Estate Media Landscape
As the residential real estate brokerage industry matures from the high-flying tech startup era that encompassed the last decade, media coverage has broadened as new players have emerged to cover it, and, increasingly, the verticals that surround it, such as mortgage, homebuilding and renting. These media companies track the industry’s big changes and dynamic evolution in real time and serve as the leading distribution, advertising channels and conversation hubs for the industry. This chapter catalogs the landscape and dives into the largest media companies in the space.
Trend 07 - 
Branch Manager Magic and How to Find It
As brokerages get bigger and more sophisticated, the branch manager role is becoming even more vital than ever, and great branch managers are difficult to find and harder to keep. Branch managers are responsible for many key responsibilities including recruiting, retention and overall sales growth. This chapter provides a deep dive into their role, how to find talented branch managers, which remain key to navigating growth and maximizing profits.
Trend 06 - 
The Technology Consolidation Wave
Technology acquisitions are occurring at a frenzied pace in the residential real estate brokerage industry. It has become difficult to keep track of who owns whom and which big companies have new owners.

Regardless, the significant technology acquisition spree is reshaping the industry. This chapter outlines the trend and its implications.
Trend 05 - 
CoStar Group: Inside Residential Real Estate’s New Heavyweight
The residential real estate brokerage industry gained a significant new player when CoStar Group (Nasdaq: CSGP), the dominant commercial and multifamily real estate marketing and portal operator, acquired Homesnap and Homes.com.

Trend 04 -

This chapter explores these changes, referred to by many as the Great Reshuffling, and how they are influencing today’s housing market.
Trend 03 -
