As2025 unfolds, optimism surrounding the real estate market is gaining momentum.

Despite recent economic turbulence, a blend of technological advancements, demographic shifts, and evolving buyer preferences has created a promising outlook. Real estate is poised to recover and thrive, signaling opportunities for buyers, sellers, and investors alike.
A Resilient Market
The real estate sector has shown remarkable resilience. Following the challenges of inflationary pressures and fluctuating interest rates in previous years, 2025 begins with a stabilizing economy. Central banks' efforts to tame inflation have borne fruit, resulting in more predictable interest rates. This stability offers potential homeowners and investors the confidence needed to re-enter the market.

Advantages of Buying a Home at a Higher Interest Rate vs. Renting
Simultaneously, Gen Z is beginning to make its mark, seeking affordable starter homes and rental properties in urban centers. Their tech-savvy nature aligns seamlessly with the advancements propelling the industry forward.
The aging Baby Boomer population also plays a role, as downsizing trends increase the availability of larger family homes for younger buyers. This intergenerational movement fosters liquidity and balance in the market.
particularly when considering long-term financial and lifestyle benefits. While the initial cost may seem daunting, homeownership provides opportunities for wealth-building, stability, and personalization that renting often cannot match.
One of the primary advantages of buying a home is the potential for building equity. With each mortgage payment, a portion goes toward reducing the principal loan balance, effectively allowing the homeowner to accumulate wealth. Over time, this equity can serve as a financial asset, offering opportunities for refinancing, borrowing, or selling the property at a profit. Renters, by contrast, do not build equity; their payments cover the cost of living without contributing to their net worth.
Additionally, the labor market has rebounded, with strong employment figures empowering more people to consider homeownership. This economic recovery, coupled with improved consumer sentiment, has reinvigorated demand in both residential and commercial real estate markets.
Technology as a Catalyst

Technology as a Catalyst
Technological innovation continues to reshape real estate, fostering efficiency and transparency. Proptech—property technology—is streamlining processes such as virtual property tours, AI-driven market analysis, and block chain-based transactions. These advancements reduce barriers for buyers and sellers, accelerating the decision-making process and fostering trust.

Opportunities for Investors
Customization and personal freedom are other key benefits of owning a home. Unlike renting, where the landlord’s rules limit modifications, homeowners can renovate, decorate, and improve their property to suit their preferences. This personalization not only enhances comfort but can also increase the property’s value over
Moreover, the rise of smart homes and sustainable construction practices has captured consumer interest. Energy-efficient homes equipped with IoT devices are no longer just a luxury; they are becoming a standard feature, reflecting modern buyers' values and preferences.

Demographic shifts further bolster optimism. Millennials, now in their prime earning years, are entering the housing market in significant numbers.

While high interest rates may increase initial costs, they are not permanent. Homeowners can refinance if rates drop, potentially reducing monthly payments.

For investors, 2025 presents unique opportunities. The commercial real estate sector is adapting to new realities, including hybrid work models and the growing demand for mixed-use developments. Industrial spaces, such as warehouses for e-commerce, remain in high demand, driven by sustained online shopping trends.

In the residential sector, the rental market is thriving, fueled by urban migration and a population eager for flexibility. Investors who diversify portfolios to include build-to-rent projects or affordable housing developments are likely to see strong returns.
Another significant benefit is stability. When you buy a home, you lock in your housing costs with a fixedrate mortgage, protecting you from rent increases that landlords might impose. This predictability can be particularly valuable in areas where rental prices are rising rapidly. Additionally, owning a home allows you to stay in one place long-term, providing stability for your family and enabling you to build connections within your

How to Save Money on Lawyers and Lose Your Property in the Process
By Diana Brazeale
In 1945, L. S. Shoen founded U-Haul with one trailer. Over the next 40 years, he built the company into a multibillion-dollar corporation. Shoen lost control of U-Haul in 1986 when his children staged a hostile takeover. From the beginning, Shoen had systematically transferred U-Haul stock to his children to avoid taxes and attorney fees. This strategy worked when the children were young, and he still controlled their stock. Then the
their property taken by aggressive creditors. Occasionally, I get this question: “What if I just deed my house to my child (or some other third party)?” My usual answer: “Don’t do it. It’s a bad idea.”
Here’s
kids grew up, their relationship with their father soured, and they forced Shoen out of his own company. As one of Shoen’s associates observed, “Had L.S. spent five hundred dollars for a lawyer in 1950, none of the rest would have followed.”
The story of L.S. Shoen, his family, and U-Haul can be found in the fascinating book “Birthright: Murder, Greed and Power in the U-Haul Family Dynasty,” by Ronald J. Watkins.
I often consult with clients who have the same concerns as L.S. Shoen. They want to plan their estates or they are concerned about having
why:
• It’s very difficult to undo a transfer if you change your mind if the transferee won’t give the property back. You could sue to impose a constructive trust on the property, but that is a fact-specific and expensive process with no guarantee of success.
• If you still live in the house, and your relationship with the transferee deteriorates, the transferee can evict you. After all, it belongs him now, and you’re just a tenant.
• If you transferred the property to keep it out of the reach of your creditors, the creditors can sue you and your transferee to undo the transfer. I once had a client who deeded his home to his children to thwart a judgment creditor. The children found out they owned the home when the judgment creditor sued them and their father to avoid the fraudulent transfer.
• If your transferee is pursued by his own creditors, those creditors may end up with your property.
What these scenarios have in common is that when you transfer your property, you lose control of it, and you make yourself dependent on the whims of your transferee. L. S. Shoen learned that lesson the hard way.
There are better ways to protect your property from creditors or preserve it for your heirs. If estate planning is your goal, you can transfer your property to a trust (that you, as trustee, control) or execute a beneficiary deed, which is revocable until you die. If creditors are your concern, Missouri statutes provide that certain property is exempt from the claims of creditors, and the Bankruptcy Code provides a mechanism to preserve your property in many cases.
If you need assistance preserving your property, consult Diana Brazeale. She is a real estate and debtorcreditor attorney and the owner of Brazeale Law Firm, LLC in Branson, Missouri. She has over twenty-five years’ experience in the practice of law, and counseled many clients regarding their property in her career. She can be reached at (417) 334-7494.

Real Estate agents work hard to get listings, market properties for sale, and bring sales to fruition. They often do so with no money up front, but with the expectation that their reward will come at closing with the payment of their commissions. If the closing does not happen, an agent who has fronted money for marketing expenses may suffer financially.
An established agent may consider this situation a cost of doing business, take the loss, and move on to other sales. Sometimes, however, an agent will go to great lengths to market a unique property, and end up liable for considerable expense when the owner decides not to sell after all.
The standard form listing contract for Missouri agents provides that if an agent procures a “ready, willing, and able buyer,” for the listed property, the agent is entitled to the agreed upon fee in the contract. That sounds good, but it is rarely so simple. The term “ready, willing, and able buyer” can be construed many different ways by many different courts and attorneys, and it may not be worthwhile for an agent to sue an owner who decides not to sell. Lawsuits are never a sure thing, legal fees are not cheap, and an agent may not want to have a reputation as someone who sues. There is also the practical consideration of collecting the fee when there is no closing. So what is an agent to do? Consider asking for money up front or for reimbursement for expenses exceeding a
Self-protection for Real Estate Agents
certain amount. The standard listing contract has no provision for this, but agents can write their own language in the “Special Agreements” section of the contract. For example, “Owner agrees to reimburse Agent for marketing expenses exceeding $___,” or “Owner agrees to deposit $____ with Agent’s Broker for marketing expenses.”
Some owners may balk at the prospect of paying expenses up front or at the suggestion that they might decide to take a property off the market, and look for another agent. At that point, the agent needs to make a decision. Is this owner worth the risk? If the answer is yes, understand that you may take a loss. If the answer is no, let the owner go elsewhere. Keep in mind an old expression: “It is better to not do the work and not get paid than it is to do the work and not get paid.” --Jay Foonberg, Esq.
