2025 State of the Market Preview

Today I'm really excited because I get to talk about some more details about my upcoming 2025 State of the Market event, which takes place online this coming January 22 from 9:00 AM to noon. You've got to be there! Let me tell you why this year is so important.

At my 2023 State of the Market, we had never seen so many housing bills proposed in the legislature, but this year we have even more headed our way. I've never seen so many passed and so many new housing bills presented at the state level over the last few years. Our state – and many others – are finally recognizing the we are in the middle of a housing crisis and things we never thought would happen are now occurring.

For example, the mayor of a city close to me, Bellingham, just passed an interim ordinance to eliminate some parking requirements in new construction, because it's hard to build when there are too many parking restrictions. We need more housing. Cities and counties are faced with these needs and the result will be changes that we see over the next few years. We are going to be talking about resale, new construction, and middle-housing.

For the last year I have had the opportunity to work at the local, regional, and state level in legislative affairs around Washington State's housing industry. Boy, do I have the inside scoop for you this year!

  1. What's ahead for mortgage rates and what can impact them?
  2. Four policies that the Trump administration may enact that will impact the housing market. Will it be in a positive way? A negative way? You'll need to come and find out.
  3. Whether resale prices are going to continue to rise or if we will see a correction ahead. And they have been rising even in an interest rate driven market that doubled in just under a year. We have really seen interest rates go up, but that hasn't resulted in prices going down. We'll be talking about what's going to happen with that across our economy and how it affects housing.
  4. How generational needs will impact your future business. There are some things every agent should know about generational shifts, attitudes, and buying power are definitely going to impact our industry over the coming years and you need to be ready!
  5. And finally, I'll be discussing ten innovations and trends that could provide opportunities for agents that are in-the-know. This is information that has the potential to transform your business over the coming years and position you to be at the forefront of your market.

Join us, January 22nd from 9:00 AM to noon for this incredible online event. Just go to our website and you can register there or give us a call at our office at 360-527-8904 and make sure you save the date because this is going to be an epic State of the Market.

Will Hamm Thanks Will! There's still a lot of important data that doesn't arrive until after December is over, so January it is. Besides, it's become something of a tradition after holding this event for over 20 years. You can still come though. It's just a few hours of the morning, but we pack a lot into it.

I hope you have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I wish the same for everyone reading this too. We here at The Lones Group are going to take a break for a few days here and I will see all of you again here on ActiveRain in 2025. - Denise
