The Zacks Real Estate Operations industry constituents are poised to gain from the increased adoption of outsourced real estate services and emerging trends. The easing of monetary policy in many large markets is expected to result in a decrease in borrowing costs, more availability of credit and drive economic growth, in turn fueling transaction activity. Companies like Newmark Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nmrk#NASDAQ">NMRK</a>), Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kw#NYSE">KW</a>) and RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rmax#NYSE">RMAX</a>) are set to benefit from these positive trends.
However, the industry faces challenges such as macroeconomic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions. Customers remain focused on cost controls and for certain asset categories are delaying their decision-making with respect to leasing.
About the Industry
The Zacks Real Estate Operations industry comprises companies that provide leasing, property management, investment management, valuation, development services, facility management, project management, transaction and consulting services, among others. However, real estate investment trusts or REITs are excluded from this group. Economic trends and government policies impact the real estate market (global and regional), which determines the industry&#39;s performance. Economic activity, employment growth, office-based employment, interest-rate levels, costs and availability of credit, tax and regulatory policies, and the geopolitical environment are the major factors shaping the real estate market&#39;s fate. Also, pandemic-induced public health challenges and geopolitical issues have affected property sales and the leasing lines of businesses.
What&#39;s Shaping the Real Estate Operations Industry&#39;s Future?
Interest Rate Cut Provides Relief for Transaction-Based Business: The latest cut in the interest rates by the Federal Reserve and anticipations of future reductions are expected to drive transaction-based businesses in the United States. Along with the United States, the easing of monetary policy in many large markets is expected to result in a decrease in borrowing costs, more availability of credit, and drive economic growth. This is expected to help investors in better price discovery and consequently result in reduced transaction completion times. It is also expected to lead to a rise in the average deal size, thereby bolstering the industry&#39;s near-term revenue prospects.
Outsourcing of Real Estate Needs to Remain Strong: Real estate occupiers, including corporations, public sector entities, healthcare providers, and those in finance, industry, life sciences and technology, are increasingly preferring to outsource their real estate needs. They are entrusting third-party real estate experts to enhance execution and efficiency. Organizations are seeking strategic advice to reimagine their workplaces and workstyles to foster culture, attract talent and improve performance. These developments are creating opportunities for participants in the real estate operations industry. Major players in the industry are leveraging this transition, securing new clients and expanding relationships with existing ones. Also, companies in this industry continue to prioritize investments in technology as it consistently improves efficiency, delivers client services and supports market share growth.
Certain Real Estate Categories&#39; Demand Hurt: The pandemic has significantly reshaped the use of commercial real estate. Also, economic uncertainty continues to affect real estate sales and leasing activities. While companies are promoting the return to office, this transition is gradual, which is hindering tenants&#39; confidence in long-term commitments. As such, pre-pandemic office occupancy levels are likely to remain elusive in the near or intermediate term. Amid a volatile environment and geopolitical issues, customers remain focused on cost controls and delaying their decision-making with respect to leasing. As such, industrial real estate demand remains subdued and this trend is expected to continue in the near term. Additionally, the pace of business-related travel and in-person interactions has not fully rebounded to pre-pandemic norms.

3 Stocks to Buy on the Real Estate Operations Industry's Recovery

RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RMAX#NYSE">RMAX</a>) released its National Housing Report for September 2024, which showed home sales slowed 13.3% from August and the median sales price <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/10/n41330285/remax-national-housing-report-for-september-2024">dropped 1.4% from August to $429,000.&nbsp;</a>
The Details: RE/MAX explained the September home sales dip was a seasonal norm and pointed to prior decreases of 13.8% and 9.7% from August to September in 2023 and 2022, respectively. However, sales were 3.1% below September 2023 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/10/41249628/mortgage-rates-make-dramatic-u-turn-freezing-homebuyers-applications-fall-5-as-ma">levels while the median home price</a> was 4.6% higher than in September 2023.
&#8220;While we&#8217;re seeing a slight cooling in sales, it&#8217;s encouraging to note that home inventory has been steadily increasing, giving buyers more options in the market,&#8221; said RE/MAX President Amy Lessinger.&nbsp;
&#8220;The consistency in sales prices and the fact that buyers are still paying 99% of asking price demonstrates the resiliency in today&#8217;s housing market. Lower rates could generate some increased activity as we end 2024 and start 2025,&#8221; Lessinger added.&nbsp;

Hot Markets: The markets with the biggest year-over-year increase in median sales price were Hartford, Connecticut, up 11.9%; Cleveland, Ohio, up 9.1% and Providence, Rhode Island, up 8.9%. New listings were up 35.9% year-over-year in Bozeman, Montana; up 32.8% in Phoenix, Arizona and Las Vegas, Nevada, saw the number of new listings rise 27.5%.
Cooling Markets: The markets with the biggest year-over-year decrease in median sales price were Coeur d&#8217;Alene, Idaho, down 4.7%; San Antonio, Texas, down 3.1% and Tampa, Florida, down 2.6%. Tampa also saw the number of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/10/41332284/floridas-housing-market-faces-major-setback-as-high-insurance-costs-and-storm-concerns-drive-buyers">new listings</a> fall 12.3% from September 2023 and new listings in San Antonio decreased 9.1%.
Real Estate ETFs: Though inventory is increasing, the U.S. housing market remains tight with buyers paying 99% of the asking price in September. Another way to invest in the housing market is through ETFs which track the U.S. real estate market, usually through Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). 
The Vanguard Real Estate ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNQ#NYSE">VNQ</a>) has gained 20% over the past six months and the Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLRE#NYSE">XLRE</a>) is up nearly 22% since April 2024. 
RMAX, VNQ, XLRE Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, RE/MAX shares are up 3.03% at $12.23, Vanguard Real Estate shares are up 1.92% at $97.09 and Real Estate Select Sector SPDR shares are up 1.81% at $44.52 at the time of publication Tuesday.

Hence, fundamentally sound real estate stocks AvalonBay Communities (AVB), RE/MAX (RMAX), and Equity Residential (EQR) might be wise picks. Keep reading... The real estate industry is experiencing a period of transition, driven by evolving trends that present new opportunities for growth and recovery. So, I present solid stocks AvalonBay Communities, Inc.
