Real estate investing may not see an opportunity like this for years. We’re in one of the wildest economic periods: mortgage rates are high, inflation has cooled, stock prices are hitting records, and the housing supply chain is slowing dramatically. What happens next? In short, something really, really good for real estate investors. And this isn’t hype—it’s precisely what the data points to.
Ben Miller, Fundrise CEO and one of our favorite macroeconomic experts, is back to break down his four data points that directly point to a win for real estate investors in 2025 and beyond. Answer this: what happens when housing supply is low, little to no new inventory is coming online, interest rates come back down, and everyone’s competing for homes? The answer: prices go up.
That reality is coming to fruition soon, and those who already own real estate are poised to reap significant profits. Those who sat on the sidelines will be forced to compete with other buyers as sky-high demand returns. But that’s not even Ben’s entire argument. He brings even MORE data to make the case for real estate in 2025—and it’s a case you shouldn’t ignore.
