The housing market, also known as the real estate market, brings together different stakeholders,
which are: the homeowners who are selling their properties, the renters, the real estate investors
who buy and sell properties solely for investment purposes, the contractors, the renovators, and
the real estate brokers who act as facilitators in the process of buying or selling a property.
The main determinants of demand in the housing market are related to demographic factors.
However, factors such as income, availability of credit, and consumer preferences are also
important. Demographic factors include the size of the market because the more the consumers,
the higher the demand, as well as the rate of marriages, divorces, and deaths, which provide an
idea of the population growth.
Many homebuyers will search on social media for homes that match their specific
preferences. Hashtags can help them find all the little niches that they are interested in—
for example, #farmhomes, #livingroomideas, #brooklynrealesate.
Many Housing market / real estate agents are very active on social media with not only
their real estate activity, but also their personal and professional views. For real estate and
home professionals, social media may be the best way to brand, advertise and separate
yourself from the competition.
