As we reflect on 2024, one word comes to mind: resilience. This past year presented challenges that even the most seasoned real estate professionals hadn’t encountered before. From unpredictable market conditions to ever-evolving buyer and seller dynamics, it was a year that required adaptability, expertise, and a steadfast commitment to serving our clients.

A Challenging Landscape for Buyers and Sellers

The 2024 real estate market was anything but typical. Economic shifts, fluctuating interest rates, and changing regulations created an environment that tested everyone—whether you were buying your first home, upsizing, downsizing, or selling a long-held property. Many faced uncertainty about timing their moves, navigating new mortgage rules, and adapting to a market that demanded strategic decision-making.

For buyers, the challenge was often about balancing affordability with finding the perfect home. Sellers, meanwhile, had to adapt to the realities of longer days on market and shifting buyer expectations. Through it all, we worked to ensure our clients felt informed, prepared, and confident in their decisions.

Rising to the Occasion

At the Fishman Group, we pride ourselves on being more than just realtors—we’re problem solvers and advocates for our clients. This year, we leaned into our expertise, using data-driven strategies and creative solutions to help our clients achieve their goals. Whether it was negotiating the best deal, navigating tricky contingencies, or preparing homes to stand out in a competitive market, we were there every step of the way.

Some of our proudest moments this year came from helping first-time buyers step into homeownership, even when it felt out of reach. With the right planning and partnerships, we showed that homeownership is possible, even in challenging times. For sellers, we focused on thoughtful pricing, standout marketing, and leveraging our network to find the right buyers.

We’ve seen firsthand that success in real estate isn’t just about timing the market; it’s about working with the right people who can help you make informed, strategic moves.
