4. Real Estate Market Trends
With the economy shifting into higher gear and more
Americans itching to land a new home before interest rates
get too high, the U.S. residential real estate market looks
like a hum-dinger as 2018 kicks off.

5. Coliving And Community-Driven
Spaces
• Coliving and community-driven residential will increasingly
have a larger impact on the multifamily industry as it
changes to reflect a new wave of renter demands and
wants. Just as amenities have defined the last decade of
commercial real estate development, the need for unique
experiences and services will heighten competition.

6. Short-Term Rentals
• The rise of the short-term rental market has increased the
opportunities for big property owners or owners of a single
family. In some rooms, for rent for extra cash from the rent
in the rooms, you can now use a global community to rent
houses for three to five times the holidays from the local
and regional markets.

7. Fractional Investing
• As peer-to-peer lenders and crowds come to mainstream
minds, people will be involved in non-alignment investment
to explore more diversification and passive investment
opportunities. In the last few years some very reliable
startups have been renewed in this space, and in the next
year, individuals can transfer from sole ownership through
crowd-funding to different ownership.

8. Price Movement
• A key question that continues to dominate the zeitgeist in
investor discussions is whether prices have bottomed out
or will they continue to fall in 2018. In 2017, city-wide
prices fell 2.5 per cent, compared to 15.1 per cent in the
year before.

9. The Oversupply Fallacy
• Another important topic that has entered the minds of
investors, keeping them on the sidelines, is the fear of an
oversupply. By the end of 2017, analysts estimated that
34,127 units will be delivered into the market, however of
those, only 65 per cent has been completed. In 2018,
analyst have predicted that 70,785 units will be delivered.
