Sometimes the unemployment gaps are wide
1978 to 82 interest rates at 17-21%
Scary times for an agent.
1982 to 1988 interest rates 14 to 10.5%
Concerns as an agent.
1992 to 1996-97 Good times as an agent.
1996-97 tech crisis. Not huge concerns but but were concerns as an agent.
1998 to 2007 good times in real estate.
2008 to 2011 scary times as an agent
2012 to 2019 good times as an agent
2020 to 2021 no inventory. But if listed it would go fast. Bad times, nothing to sell.
2021 to 2022 people buying over inflated homes at a low interest rate.
2023-25 I was telling people buy only if you have to. 2025-26 a no body’s market.
In all those years from 1979 to the present day, real estate agents and brokers are unemployed after each closing.
