Real's June Agent Survey: Buyer Power Grows as Market Remains Subdued
Article content MIAMI — The Real Brokerage Inc. (NASDAQ: REAX, 'Real'), a leading real estate technology platform redefining the industry through innovation and culture, today released results from its June 2025 Agent Survey. The data points to ongoing market trends: increasing buyer leverage and a continued decline in transaction activity compared to 2024. While agents remain optimistic about the potential for market improvement over the next year, affordability remains a key concern amid sticky mortgage rates and home prices near all-time highs. Article content This month's survey also highlights the rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a productivity driver among real estate agents. Fifty-eight percent (58%) of agents reported using AI tools daily — a notable increase from approximately 50% last year, with the primary use cases concentrated in marketing and content creation. Article content 'Our June survey shows a continued moderation in transaction volume, leading to an even more buyer-friendly market,' said Tamir Poleg, Chairman and CEO of Real. 'In a challenging market, agents are increasingly leveraging AI in their daily workflows to innovate and improve efficiency.' 'The survey results reinforce the industry's demand for advanced technology tools, validating our strategic focus on a comprehensive, AI-powered platform,' said Pritesh Damani, Chief Technology Officer at Real. 'While the survey shows that the primary use cases for AI used by agents today are predominantly focused on marketing, our vision extends much further. At Real, we are actively building technology to empower every part of the transaction workflow, from initial discovery and client engagement to the complexities of negotiation and the final close.' Article content Key Survey Findings: Market Trends and Insights Article content Transaction Growth Index Shows Modest Improvement from May: Real's Transaction Growth Index, which tracks agent-reported year-over-year changes in home-sales activity within their local markets, rose to 46.2 in June, a modest improvement from 44.2 in May. This improved index suggests the pace of decline in local market activity was more moderate in June than in May. (Note: This index reflects agents' perceptions of local market trends and is not indicative of Real's company-specific transaction volume. Scores are weighted on a 0-100 point scale, with scores above 50 indicating year-over-year growth and scores below 50 signaling a decline.) In the U.S., the subindex was 44.8, compared to 43.9 in May. Meanwhile, Canada's index reading was 59.6, up from 46.7. Overall, 45% of agents saw fewer transactions take place in their markets this June compared to June 2024 (including 7% who saw significantly fewer transactions), while 23% saw an increase in transactions. Twenty-nine percent (29%) of agents reported transaction activity that was approximately flat year-over-year. Agent Optimism Remains Resilient: Real's Agent Optimism Index, which measures agents' 12-month outlook for their local markets, grew slightly to 59.5 in June from 57.0 in May. While a reading above 50 indicates net optimism, overall sentiment remains similar to this time last year. Still, 48% of agents felt more optimistic in June (including 10% who felt significantly more optimistic) compared to May. Buyer Power Strengthens Across Markets: In June, 48% of agents said their local market favors buyers, marking an increase from 43% in May. Only 26% said it favored sellers, and 26% described conditions as balanced. Agents also noted increasing inventory, longer times on the market and greater room for negotiation as signals of this ongoing power shift. Affordability and Economic Concerns Persist for Buyers: Affordability was again the top challenge facing buyers, cited by 51% of agents. Economic uncertainty also remains a significant barrier, with 26% of agents citing it as the top challenge for buyers, only slightly down from 28% in May. Inventory constraints (16%) and buyer competition (5%) were seen as lesser issues. Article content A full summary of these results can be found on Real's investor relations website at Article content About the Survey Article content The Real Brokerage June 2025 Agent Survey included responses from over 140 real estate agents across the United States and Canada and was conducted between June 30, 2025 and July 15, 2025. Responses to questions regarding transaction growth and agent optimism were calibrated on a 0-100 point index scale, with readings above 50 indicating an improving trend, whereas readings below 50 indicate a declining trend. Responses are meant to capture industry-level information and are not meant to serve as an indication of Real's company-specific growth trends. Additionally, given the smaller sample size, there can be greater variability in Canada index results on a month-to-month basis.

This Under-the-Radar Stock Could Be the Next Palantir
Key Points The Real Brokerage is rapidly taking a share of real estate agents in the United States. It is trying to use AI and software to disrupt real estate transactions. Fast growth makes the stock an intriguing buy right now. 10 stocks we like better than Real Brokerage › Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) has put up astounding returns in the last few years. Since the beginning of 2023, shares are up more than 2,200%. That's over a decade's worth of life-changing returns in just two and a half years. Now, at a market cap of $350 billion and a price-to-sales ratio (P/S) greater than 100, it looks like future returns for Palantir stock will be weak. The math around valuation eventually catches up to a stock in the long run. Miss out on Palantir? Then you might be interested in this other fast-growing artificial intelligence (AI) and software platform: The Real Brokerage (NASDAQ: REAX). Here's why the stock has a chance to put up 10x returns like Palantir in the next few years. A lower-cost digital brokerage for real estate agents The residential real estate market has not yet been brought into the 21st century. People looking to buy and sell homes have to deal with high commission rates, while real estate agents deal with legacy in-office brokerages that operate slowly. There is a lot of friction and time wasted in real estate transactions that can be saved with digital tools. This is where The Real Brokerage steps in. As a cloud-based brokerage, it offers a digital brokerage and software tools to real estate agents who want to escape legacy brokerages. You see, every real estate agent is required to use a brokerage to process residential real estate transactions. However, historically, these brokerages would take a large cut of the commissions earned by real estate agents, a process still employed today even with modern internet real estate portals. With no offices and a software-first approach, The Real Brokerage has lower costs and therefore can take a smaller cut of transactions for real estate agents who work for the platform. Lower costs and robust software tools are driving agents to switch to The Real Brokerage. In the first quarter of 2025, the number of agents signed up with the brokerage grew 61% year over year to around 27,000. More agents mean more real estate transactions, which led to a 76% increase in revenue in the quarter to $354 million. Since going public, The Real Brokerage's revenue is up more than 10,000% cumulatively, making it one of the fastest-growing companies on the planet. Macroeconomic headwinds turning to tailwinds? The Real Brokerage is growing quickly despite the fact that existing home sales have frozen in the United States because of high interest rates. Annualized transactions have fallen to 4 million in recent quarters, compared to around 6 million in a normal environment. Fewer transactions in residential real estate mean weaker demand for The Real Brokerage. However, it is still taking a ton of market share and should benefit once this eventually unfreezes. Think of this as a slowly filling demand for potential home purchases. People want to buy homes or move, but cannot afford to because of mortgage rates and home prices. As this changes, investors could see huge growth in existing home sales, which will help the growth of The Real Brokerage. Why The Real Brokerage could become the next Palantir What makes The Real Brokerage like Palantir is not only its fast growth, but its embrace of AI. It has launched Leo AI, a digital AI concierge for real estate agents to help with busywork around homebuying and selling. As mentioned above, buying a home is an arduous process for both the buyer and the agent. This is a tailor-made situation for AI, and The Real Brokerage is building products for it. Over the long term, The Real Brokerage is working to build an AI-assisted real estate portal for clients, which would likely compete with Zillow Group. While it's a long way away from being widespread, The Real Brokerage has large ambitions and is executing at a blistering pace to try to become the AI and software layer of the residential real estate market. Today, you can buy shares of The Real Brokerage at a market cap of just $823 million. The company is not yet profitable and close to breakeven, but this is quite a small feat for a company that generates $128 million in gross profit and is growing revenue at more than 50% year over year. It does not come without risks, but The Real Brokerage looks like a potential huge stock winner for those who buy shares today. Do the experts think Real Brokerage is a buy right now?
