The prospects of revolutionary Real Estate trends in 2013 are undoubtedly promising. By
keeping aside the conventional path and adopting new trends and issues, the real estate
market will see a skyrocketing growth in itself. Owing to a recuperating and distressed
economy worldwide the prediction may sound too hard to believe, but excerpts are
formidably accounting for a momentum shift in all property types. Though the clouds of
uncertainty regarding the economic slowdown still hover on this business, staying positive
and laying the best foot forward can help in gaining plenty of profits and enhanced scope.

apartments has dramatically increased consequently leading to an increase in the rents.
A remarkable hike in the prices of building materials is also a reason behind the inflation
seen in the industry.

first time buyers dominating. This trend has been in practice since the last couple of years

many distressed and foreclosed properties will be snapped. A professional property
manager will be helpful for an investor for renting and maintaining the purchases.
4. Rise in mortgage interest rates­
The mortgage interest rates have been at a minimal low since years and an increment is
definitely expected. But, rest assured the rise will not be a pronounced one.
5. Urging for compactness­
Gone are the days when businesses used to demand for big commercial complexes. The
trend has shifted to compactness, i.e. smaller places are much more preferred. It’s easier to
maintain and the rents and operating expenses are drastically reduced.
6. Going Suburban­
Though its’ difficult to move businesses into the suburb’s, the necessity demands for one.

the real estate builders to explore such avenues. But one must keep in mind about the

spur in multifamily projects. Adopting the suburbs will be a trend to look out for in the real
estate business in the year 2013.
