Summary

If you listen to much of the media, you might feel the real estate market is on the precipice of another catastrophic crash, similar to 2008. In this podcast, Brian Buffini, founder and chairman of Buffini & Company, shares the real truth. Using well-researched data and stats, Brian discusses how the market is not crashing but is actually rebalancing back to numbers seen in 2019. He shares his forecast for the remainder of 2025 and into 2026, including home prices, median sales prices and mortgage rates.  

 

Brian also offers practical, strategic tips that agents can use when working with buyers and sellers, many of whom also have been led to false beliefs by doom scrolling, to help them understand the true housing market. He also introduces a major new campaign for Buffini clients, “Just 1,” that will help them use the power of working by referral to transform their business.   

 

YOU WILL LEARN: 

• The real data on the housing market including current stats and a forecast for 2025 and 2026.  

• How real estate agents can help their clients past doom scrolling and navigate them to successfully buying or selling a home.    

• How the “Just 1” campaign, based on Buffini’s proven, repeatable system of working by referral, can transform your business and your life.

NOTEWORTHY QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:

“If rates go from 7 to 6%, 5.5 million additional households in the United States will be eligible to buy a home including most importantly, 1.6 million renters.” - Brian Buffini 

 

“The key to this market for buyers is choice and for sellers it's about competition.”  - Brian Buffini

Welcome to It's a Good Life, the podcast for entrepreneurs, where it's all about growing yourself

0:08.2

and your business. Here's your host, founder of America's largest business coaching company,

0:13.9

Brian Bafini. So what I want to share with you is I'm going to empower all of you today. I'm going to give you

0:24.8

the straight story. I've been doing this a long time, 10 years in a business, another 30 years doing

0:29.8

this, and for the last 17 years, doing the bold predictions. How many of you've ever listened to

0:34.8

some of the bold predictions, and they've kind of turned out? Could I see your hands? I'll show you some of that today.

0:39.3

And what we're going to do is this, I'm going to give you a big perspective.

0:42.3

I'm going to arm you with this stats. You're going to be kind of surprised to see where we actually are.

0:46.3

And it's wild because I've never seen the real estate business more confused.

0:51.3

And I talk to the leaders of real estate. I talk to the heads of the industry.

0:55.2

I talk to the heads of Nair and all the different pieces. And then we have obviously the largest

0:59.7

coaching network in the world. And we listen to brokers. And we listen to people who own

1:03.9

regional companies. And we listen to the agents. And in my 39 years doing this, I've never

1:08.8

seen people who have less visibility and less clarity

1:11.4

on what's actually taking place because there's so much information coming at us.

1:16.0

Would you guys agree?

1:17.6

At Bufini and Company, we have what we call the BIA, the Bafini Intelligence Agency,

1:23.1

and we have a group of nine people who are part of the research team of Bafini.

1:27.4

Now, let me say this.

1:28.7

There is no news network in America anywhere that has nine researchers for the real estate business.

1:36.5

The only other place you'll find this is actually at the National Association of Realtors

1:39.8

who partner with us on the data, along with many other agencies and organizations. So when I give you this data, the reason why I'm able to predict the market so well is I'm actually just pointing out what's actually there. Does that make sense? Kind of behind the scenes, I'm like the magician showing you how the magic's done. It's not that bold. But there's a number of people, and then you'll see the folks now who are in, you know, there's a lot of trainers in real estate who never sold a house in their life, and they'll go, hey, these predictions and all of stuff, there's just guesses. Well, it's guesses for them because they don't have a clue. It's not guesses for us. We've been doing this a long, long time. So I'm going to empower you today. I'm going to give you data you can believe in today. Adjust your business strategy today. And then show you how to win in this market. Let me say this. I'm very, very hopeful about where the market is and especially where it's going. I'm going to arm you with some things today, dialogues, tools, and techniques, a few resources, and a whole bunch of data to get you down the path. Does that make sense to you? We want to beat the Doom Scrollers and understand that your clients are watching that stuff too. And we're going to have a bit of fun doing it, because I like to win, make a ton of money, serve people beautifully, and have a laugh doing it. Is that okay with you guys?
