According to Patterson 鈥淭he results of RISMedia鈥檚 Power Broker Survey reflect the overall pattern of the housing market last year.鈥�

鈥淚 don鈥檛 believe the housing market will differ greatly from 2015,鈥� insists Steve Summers.

鈥淭he general housing market looks good in 2016. There will be continued pricing and inventory challenges at specific price points in certain market areas. I think as the housing market continues to improve, more first-time homebuyers will enter the market, and at the same time, it will be a very competitive environment for real estate investors. Unemployment, jobs, and the economy will ultimately determine the market鈥檚 momentum,鈥� Summers concludes.

RISMedia coined the term 鈥減ower broker鈥� almost 30 years ago and continues to be a leader in ranking the nation鈥檚 top-performing brokers via the Power Broker Survey.聽For the complete 2015 report, visit RISMedia.com.
