Real Estate Analysis is Based on What Has Occurred In The Past

Real estate analysis is based on what has occurred in the past; it is how predictions are made and how future decisions are evaluated. The last two years have had profound lessons for our present and future. A once-in-a-generation pandemic initiated a paradigm shift: people began reimagining their ideas of home and rediscovering their essential values at the very moment when wealth was rising to historic levels around the world, thanks to rebounding stock markets and surging home equity gains. According to the latest Wealth-X data, the population of individuals with a net worth of $5 million+ reached more than 3.6 million globally. That was an increase of 19.8% over 2020 and a notable difference from 2020, which saw only a 2.2% gain over 2019. This extraordinary wealth growth led to a real estate expansion like we’ve never seen before. A new map for luxury opened up new locations and multiple homeownership in greater numbers. Home as a safe haven became the rallying cry for our time.

Where do we go from here? What opportunities should we look for?  Rather than focusing solely on the past, we are looking forward to The Report 2022.
