Dear Kathy,

Last week, we experienced the annual Keller Williams Mega Agent Camp in Austin—an exceptional week filled with insightful speakers and valuable knowledge, led by Gary Keller and his skilled team. While we can't foresee the future of the economy, culture, and real estate with a crystal ball, we do have access to compelling research from KW Research. In this newsletter, I've curated a selection of enlightening slides that offer intriguing data, allowing you to formulate your own predictions. Based on the information I've gathered, it appears that the real estate outlook remains positive for the upcoming year. The dynamic of buying and selling hinges on consumer behavior, and the adage "timing is a fool's game" rings true since certainty eludes us. Notably, real estate has stood as a steadfast investment over time, contributing to the substantial real estate portfolios of numerous affluent individuals. I encourage you to explore the provided slides for further insights.
