The Real Brokerage Inc. has released its September 2025 Agent Survey, revealing renewed agent optimism and a rebound in transaction activity following a summer slowdown. The Agent Optimism Index climbed to 66.2, with nearly two-thirds of agents feeling more positive about the market outlook than in the previous month. Despite this optimism, affordability remains the top concern for buyers, cited by 55% of agents, while economic uncertainty is the second biggest challenge. The survey also highlights the growing importance of financial flexibility, with over 80% of agents expressing that seamless access to capital is valuable for their business. Transaction activity showed improvement, as the Transaction Growth Index rose to 49.5 from 42.7 in August. Additionally, market conditions appear to be shifting in favor of buyers, with 52% of agents reporting buyer-favorable markets and only 17% indicating a seller's market, the lowest in the survey's history.
