Welcome to your weekly insights from RealEstateMentorHub.com! With Labor Day on September 1 marking a short trading week (U.S. markets closed Monday), it's a great time to recharge while staying informed on economic shifts. Let's explore expectations for the stock market, world economy, and global events that could influence real estate this week.
Market and Economic Outlook
The stock market enters September bracing for risks after a summer lull, with trading resuming Tuesday amid expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, potentially 50 basis points later this month if Friday's August non-farm payrolls data shows weakness. Globally, economic growth is projected at 3.0% for 2025, down slightly from 2024 due to uneven momentum, trade uncertainties, and slowing exports in Asia, though upward revisions suggest modest resilience. Key events like the C5 + CCIM Global Summit (September 16-18 in Chicago) and REimagine! Conference (September 15-17 in California) could boost real estate by fostering networking, deal-making, and investment trends, while broader geopolitical tensions may pressure housing affordability and inventory worldwide.
3 Tips for Realtors to Drum Up Business This Week
· Follow Up with Past Clients: Use the post-holiday lull to send personalized emails or texts to former clients, checking in on their needs and subtly asking for referrals to spark new leads.
- Prepare for Rate Cut Buzz: Send targeted emails to past clients highlighting how potential Fed cuts could lower mortgage rates, positioning yourself as an expert and prompting inquiries for home searches.
- Network at Upcoming Events: Register for September conferences like the C5 Summit and share previews on your platforms to connect with prospects, showcasing your involvement in industry trends. Networking anywhere is always beneficial. If you can’t travel to an event then network at various community events where is costs nothing but your time.
Keep your eyes and ears open to different trends for you to invest in to help grow your financial wealth.
Here is a company to watch: Realty Income (NYSE: O)
Realty Income, a leading REIT focused on commercial properties, offers strong upside potential with its monthly dividends and resilience in a cooling rate environment—analysts project 10-15% growth in 2025 amid retail recovery, making it a solid pick for real estate-aligned investments. Do your own homework to see if this aligns with your investment strategy.
Every challenge in real estate is an opportunity to build resilience and create lasting impact, embrace this short week to fuel your long-term success.
