The Las Vegas Real Estate Market: Strategic Analysis, Economic Forecast, and Agent Survival Guide (December 2025 - Q1 2026)

1. Executive Intelligence Briefing: The "Great Stabilization"

As the Las Vegas real estate market approaches the close of 2025, industry professionals are witnessing the crystallization of a new economic paradigm. The erratic volatility that defined the post-pandemic era—characterized first by a frenzy of unbridled appreciation and subsequently by a freeze in transaction velocity—has given way to a phase best described as the "Great Stabilization." This period, however, should not be mistaken for stagnation. Beneath the headline metrics of flattening prices and accumulating inventory lies a complex undercurrent of structural realignment that demands a sophisticated strategic response from real estate agents.

The prevailing narrative for late 2025 is the arrival of the "Great Housing Reset," a phenomenon predicted by major analytic firms to fully materialize in 2026. This reset is not a crash; rather, it is a painful but necessary correction of the affordability distortion that severed local incomes from housing costs. For the Las Vegas Valley, this manifests as a decisive shift from a seller-dominated landscape to a buyer-tilted, balanced environment. The leverage has moved. The days of order-taking are over. We have entered a "compete to win" ecosystem where inventory is plentiful, buyers are discerning, and the margin for error in pricing and marketing has vanished.

1.1 The Macro-Economic Context

The Las Vegas market does not exist in a vacuum. It is reacting to broader national trends, specifically the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy and the resultant mortgage rate environment. Throughout 2025, the market grappled with the "lock-in" effect, where homeowners with sub-4% mortgage rates refused to sell, artificially suppressing inventory. However, December 2025 data indicates a significant thawing of this freeze. Inventory has surged by approximately 31% to 44.8% year-over-year, the largest increase among major U.S. metropolitan areas.

This surge is driven by two factors. First, life events (divorce, relocation, growing families) eventually override financial optimization; homeowners can only delay moving for so long. Second, the acceptance of the "new normal" for interest rates—hovering in the low-to-mid 6% range—has set in. Buyers and sellers are no longer waiting for 3% rates to return; they are transacting based on current realities, anticipating a gradual rate decline into the high 5% range by 2026.

For real estate agents, this shift is critical. The scarcity narrative is dead. The new challenge is differentiation in a crowded marketplace. Listings are lingering on the market for an average of 55 to 56 days, a sharp increase of more than two weeks compared to the previous year. To survive Q1 2026, agents must pivot from being access providers (simply unlocking doors) to being strategic advisors who can navigate complex negotiations, creative financing, and advanced digital marketing.

1.2 The "Tale of Two Cities"

The market is currently bifurcated. On one side, the luxury sector and master-planned communities like Summerlin West and Henderson continue to see robust demand, insulated by cash buyers and high-net-worth migration. On the other, the entry-level condo and townhome market is softening rapidly, with inventory spikes leading to price corrections of nearly 10% in some segments. This report will dissect these divergences, providing a granular analysis of why specific neighborhoods are outperforming while others face headwinds.

Furthermore, the economic diversification of Southern Nevada continues to be a primary driver of long-term value. Despite setbacks—most notably the failure of the Summerlin studio tax credit legislation—the region is advancing massive infrastructure projects. The Oakland Athletics’ stadium construction is underway, the Brightline West high-speed rail project is progressing toward a 2029 launch, and the Medical District is undergoing a vertical transformation. These projects underpin the "future value" proposition that agents must sell to clients today.


  1. Market Snapshot (December 2025): The Metrics of Change

To navigate the current landscape, one must understand the data that defines it. The following analysis synthesizes reports from multiple brokerage and analytic sources to present a comprehensive view of the Las Vegas real estate ecosystem as of December 7, 2025.

2.1 Inventory Dynamics: The Supply Shock

The most significant metric in late 2025 is the accumulation of active listings. For years, Las Vegas operated with a chronic shortage of housing. That dynamic has inverted.

Table 1: Inventory and Supply Metrics (Year-Over-Year Comparison)

Metric December 2024 (Approx) December 2025 % Change Implication
Active Single-Family Listings ~5,700 - 6,000 ~7,850 - 8,100 +31% to +40% Buyers have choices; sellers face stiff competition.
Condo/Townhome Listings -- +47.9% Significant Surge High HOA fees and rates are dampening entry-level demand.
Months of Supply ~2.5 - 3.0 Months 4.4 - 4.8 Months +1.4 - 1.8 Months Approaching a "Balanced Market" (6 months); leverage is shifting.
New Listings (Monthly) -- ~3,077 -2.7% (MoM) Sellers are pulling back slightly for holidays, but total stock remains high.

Analysis of Supply:

The sharp rise in inventory is not a result of a foreclosure wave. Foreclosures and distressed sales remain statistically negligible compared to the 2008 crisis.2 Instead, the inventory build-up is a function of slowing sales velocity (demand destruction) intersecting with a steady flow of new listings. With sales down approximately 10.2% year-over-year, homes are simply not clearing the market at the pace they are being listed.4 This "accumulation effect" means that every week a home sits unsold, it is joined by fresh competition.

For the condo market, the situation is more acute. A 47.9% surge in available units suggests a specific rejection of this asset class by investors and entry-level buyers. High interest rates, combined with rising HOA dues (particularly in aging communities requiring capital improvements), have eroded the cash-flow potential for investors and the affordability for first-time buyers.

2.2 Price Stability vs. Correction

Despite the inventory surge, prices have not collapsed. They have stabilized. This "sticky price" phenomenon is characteristic of a market where sellers are not distressed. Most homeowners have significant equity and low legacy mortgage rates; they do not need to sell at a loss. Consequently, they are holding firm on pricing, leading to a standoff with buyers.

Table 2: Pricing Trends by Asset Class (November/December 2025)

Asset Class Median Price YoY Change Trend Analysis
Single-Family Residential (SFR) ~$470,000 - $475,000 -0.2% to -2.1% Flat/Slight Softening. Sellers conceding on closing costs rather than list price.
Condos & Townhomes ~$285,000 - $294,000 -2.0% to -9.5% Correction Mode. Volatility is higher here due to investor pullback.
New Construction Varied (See Builder Section) Flat (Base Price) Builders are disguising price drops through massive incentives (rate buydowns).

The "Hidden" Price Drop:

While median sales prices appear stable, the effective price paid by buyers has dropped. This is visible in the proliferation of seller concessions. In late 2025, approximately 80% of negotiations involve seller concessions, with many sellers contributing up to 3% to 6% of the purchase price toward the buyer's closing costs or rate buydowns.14 If a home sells for $470,000 but the seller credits $15,000 back to the buyer, the effective value is $455,000. Agents must explain this nuance to sellers who look at comps and demand top dollar; the "net" is lower than the "gross."

2.3 Velocity and Liquidity

The market has slowed significantly. Days on Market (DOM) has stretched to roughly 55-56 days, up more than two weeks from the previous year. This metric is crucial for managing seller expectations. In 2021, a home sitting for 30 days was stigmatized. In late 2025, a home sitting for 30 days is just getting started.

  • Homes selling < 30 days: Only 50% of listings convert in the first month, down from nearly 60% last year.
  • The "Stale" Listing Danger: With 4.8 months of supply, listings that are not priced correctly or marketed aggressively (see Section 6 on Video) risk becoming "stale inventory," which typically sells for a steep discount after 90+ days.

2.4 The Cash Factor

Cash remains king, but its dominance is diluting slightly. Cash transactions account for approximately 23% of local sales. This figure is supported by two demographics:

  1. Institutional Investors: While their buying spree has slowed compared to 2021-2022, hedge funds continue to hold vast portfolios, providing a floor for prices. They are not dumping assets, which prevents a crash scenario.
  2. Equity Refugees: Retirees and remote workers moving from California (and increasingly Texas) often sell their primary residences in high-cost markets and deploy that equity into all-cash purchases in Las Vegas.


  1. Economic Drivers: The Engines of Future Value

Real estate values are ultimately a derivative of the local economy. In Las Vegas, the economic narrative is shifting from pure tourism to a diversified model involving professional sports, medical technology, and logistics. However, this transition is not without its hurdles.

3.1 The Sports Capital Transformation

The most visible economic driver is the physical reshaping of the Strip and its periphery to accommodate professional sports.

The Oakland Athletics Stadium:

Located on the 9-acre site of the demolished Tropicana Hotel, the new MLB stadium is a $1.7 billion (potentially rising to $2 billion) project that anchors the south Strip.9

  • Status: Construction commenced in May 2025. Foundation work, including concrete pours and column erection, was active as of November 2025.
  • Design: The Bjarke Ingels Group design features a massive cable-glass window offering views of the Strip, creating a unique architectural landmark.
  • Real Estate Impact: This development is revitalizing the surrounding area. Agents should monitor condo developments and commercial leases in the corridor between the stadium and the airport, as demand for short-term rentals and hospitality support services is expected to surge closer to the 2028 opening.

3.2 High-Speed Connectivity: Brightline West

The Brightline West high-speed rail project is arguably the most transformative infrastructure project for the Las Vegas housing market in decades. By connecting Las Vegas to the Los Angeles basin (via Rancho Cucamonga), it effectively turns Las Vegas into a commuter suburb for Southern California hybrid workers.

  • Status: Groundbreaking occurred in April 2024. Heavy construction is slated to ramp up in 2026, with a target operational date of 2029 (missing the 2028 Olympics target).
  • Route: The 218-mile electric train will run in the median of I-15, reducing travel time to approximately two hours.
  • Market Implication: Agents selling in the southern part of the valley (West Henderson, Southern Highlands) can market the "super-commuter" lifestyle. The potential for a property value "arbitrage" exists, where Vegas homes appreciate as they become accessible to LA salaries.

3.3 The Stalled Dream: Summerlin Studios

A critical cautionary tale for 2025 involves the "Hollywood 2.0" narrative. For months, speculation drove interest in Summerlin based on a proposed joint venture between Sony Pictures and Howard Hughes Holdings to build a massive film studio campus.

  • The Failure: The project hinged on the passage of SB 496, which would have massively expanded film tax credits ($95M-$120M annually). In mid-2025, the Nevada Legislature rejected the bill. The Assembly passed it narrowly, but it died in the Senate due to a coalition of progressive opponents (citing budget concerns for healthcare/climate) and a lack of unanimous support.
  • Consequences: The immediate catalyst for a "studio boom" in Summerlin West is gone. While the land remains and the proposal could be revived in the 2027 legislative session, agents must stop selling the "Sony Studio" as a guaranteed imminent arrival. Over-promising this development could lead to client dissatisfaction and legal liability.

3.4 The Medical District Boom

While Hollywood struggles to arrive, the healthcare sector is rapidly expanding. The Las Vegas Medical District (LVMD) is becoming a legitimate economic engine.

  • Infrastructure: The City of Las Vegas recently completed a $75 million infrastructure upgrade (streets, sidewalks, utilities) on Charleston Boulevard. This public investment has leveraged approximately $500 million in private investment.
  • Key Anchors: The Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV is now operational. New projects include a bioscience incubator ($10M city contribution) and multiple residential developments (e.g., by Cedar Street and Livco) targeting medical staff.
  • Investment Niche: The gentrification of the areas surrounding the Medical District (downtown/central valley) offers a high-yield opportunity for investors willing to rehab older homes for medical residents and staff.

3.5 Hospitality and Gaming Updates

  • Dream Las Vegas: This boutique hotel project on the south Strip faced severe financial headwinds, stalling in 2023. However, construction resumed in late 2025 after a settlement involving McCarthy Building Companies, with a new timeline pushing opening to late 2026 or beyond.
  • M Resort Expansion: In Henderson, the M Resort is adding a 384-room tower, further cementing West Henderson as a premium destination.


  1. Neighborhood Deep Dive: Micro-Market Analysis

The "average" Las Vegas market stats obscure the reality that distinct neighborhoods are performing very differently.

4.1 Summerlin West: The Premium Enclave

Status: High Demand / Luxury Focus

Outlook: Resilient but Expensive

Summerlin West (Districts like Redpoint, Kestrel) continues to command the highest price per square foot in the suburbs. The area attracts lifestyle buyers who prioritize proximity to Red Rock Canyon and the master-planned aesthetic.

  • Headwinds: The HOA fees are rising. Effective January 1, 2026, Summerlin West assessments increase to $69/month plus the $37 Summerlin Council fee. While modest for luxury buyers, it adds to the monthly carry cost.
  • Investment Angle: Despite the studio setback, the "Urban Core" of Summerlin West is proceeding. The area remains the top choice for California equity buyers who want a "soft landing" in a community that feels familiar.

4.2 Skye Canyon: The Northwest Challenger

Status: Buyer's Market

Outlook: High Growth Potential

Located in the far northwest, Skye Canyon has emerged as the primary competitor to Summerlin, offering newer amenities at a slight discount.

  • Market Data: As of late 2025, median list prices were ~$623,000, but sales were closing around $575,000, indicating significant negotiability.
  • Future Driver: Rumors of a Station Casinos project (Kyle Canyon) are fueling speculation of a new entertainment hub, which would anchor commercial values in the area.
  • Demographic: This area is heavily favored by families and outdoor enthusiasts who find Summerlin too congested or expensive.

4.3 Henderson: West Henderson & Inspirada

Status: Boomtown

Outlook: Strong Commercial/Residential Synergy

West Henderson is the most dynamic sub-market for mixed-use growth. The synergy between the Raiders' headquarters, the executive airport, and new industrial logistics parks has created a robust local job market.

  • Inspirada: Now a mature community, it offers stable rental yields.
  • West Henderson: This corridor is seeing aggressive commercial infill. The new Google data center and West Henderson Hospital act as employment anchors, supporting high occupancy rates for rentals.

4.4 Centennial Hills: The Value Leader

Status: Balanced/Value

Outlook: Steady

For buyers priced out of the master plans, Centennial Hills offers the best value proposition.

  • Pricing: Median home prices are around $465,000, down ~4.9% year-over-year. This affordability makes it the most accessible market for first-time buyers.
  • Opportunity: Investors characterize this area as "undervalued," suggesting that as affordability pressures mount elsewhere, demand will compress into Centennial Hills, driving appreciation.

4.5 Downtown & Arts District

Status: Niche/Urban

Outlook: Gentrification Continuing

The Arts District continues its transformation into a walkable, urban neighborhood. While still niche compared to the suburban sprawl, high-density vertical living is gaining traction here, supported by the nearby Medical District expansion.37


  1. The Rental Market: A Shift in Leverage

The rental market has cooled significantly from the fever pitch of 2022-2023. We are witnessing a transition from a landlord's market to a tenant's market.

Table 3: Rental Market Metrics (November 2025)

Metric Status Trend
Average Rent (2-Bed) ~$1,850 - $2,000 Flat / Slight Decline.
Vacancy Rate ~5.4% (Multifamily) Increasing.
Days on Market 21-28 Days Extended (Tenants are shopping around).
Concessions Returning 1-2 months free rent is becoming common in new apartment builds.

Institutional Stability:

A key stabilizing factor is the presence of institutional investors, who own approximately 23% of the housing stock.12 Unlike individual flippers who might panic-sell during a market softening, these funds are holding properties for long-term yield. This keeps sales inventory from flooding the market but contributes to higher rental inventory.

Strategic Advice for Landlord Clients:

Agents representing landlords must preach realism. The days of 20+ applications in 24 hours are gone. Pricing must be competitive, and properties must be in pristine condition. "Hold time" (vacancy) is more expensive than a $50/month rent reduction.

  1. Agent's Survival Guide (Q1 2026): Three Strategic Pillars

The passive strategies of the last five years are now liabilities. To survive and thrive in Q1 2026, agents must adopt proactive, technically sophisticated strategies. The following three tips address the specific pain points of the current market: builder competition, expired listings, and financing hurdles.

Tip 1: Combatting the New Construction "Rate Trap"

The Challenge:

Homebuilders are currently the most dangerous competitors for resale agents. National builders (Lennar, Pulte, DR Horton) are aggressively protecting their stock prices by moving inventory at any cost. They are not dropping base prices significantly; instead, they are offering massive financial incentives.

  • The Weapon: Rate Buydowns. Builders are offering permanent rate buydowns (e.g., locking buyers at 4.99% or 5.5% when the market rate is 6.5%) and "teaser" rates (e.g., 2-1 buydowns starting at 2.99%).
  • The Impact: A resale home priced at $500k with a 6.5% rate has a significantly higher monthly payment than a new build at $520k with a 4.99% rate. Buyers are choosing the payment, not just the house.

The Actionable Strategy:

Agents must learn to structure Seller-Paid Rate Buydowns for resale listings.

  1. The Math: Instead of advising your seller to drop their price by $20,000 (which saves the buyer only ~$130/month), advise them to offer a $15,000 concession specifically to buy down the buyer's interest rate.
  2. The Pitch: This concession can save the buyer $300-$500/month, mimicking the builder's incentive.
  3. Marketing: Advertise the payment, not just the price. "Own this home for $2,800/mo" is a stronger hook than "Price reduced to $480k."
  4. Differentiation: Emphasize the "Total Cost of Ownership." New builds often come with unfinished backyards (costing $15k-$30k out of pocket) and higher SID/LID (Special Improvement District) taxes. A resale home with a pool and mature landscaping, combined with a seller-paid rate buydown, is often a better financial product.

Tip 2: Mining the "Expireds" Goldmine

The Challenge:

With inventory rising and DOM extending to 55+ days, the number of expired listings is surging. REDX data suggests nearly 130,000 listings expired nationally in early 2024, and the trend has accelerated into 2025.42 In Las Vegas, thousands of homeowners are failing to sell, leaving them frustrated and disillusioned.

The Actionable Strategy:

Do not approach expireds with a generic "I can sell your home" script. They have already heard that. Adopt the "Listing Autopsy" approach.

  1. The Analysis: Before calling, analyze why the home expired. Was the photography dark? Was there no video? Was it priced 10% above the neighbors?
  2. The Approach: Contact the seller with a specific diagnosis. "I reviewed your listing and identified three marketing deficiencies that likely prevented a sale. I don't want to list your home today; I want to show you the data on why it didn't sell."
  3. The Solution: Present a relaunch plan that specifically fixes the errors. If the previous agent used static photos, pitch your "VidFlipper" strategy (see Section 7). Show them the data: homes with video sell 31% faster.
  4. The Psychology: These sellers have "intent" (they wanted to move) but lost "hope." Restore their hope with competence and a new strategy.

Tip 3: Creative Financing is the New Standard

The Challenge:

High interest rates and tightening bank standards are disqualifying marginal buyers. Simultaneously, sellers with low-equity positions cannot afford to pay 6% commissions and closing costs without bringing cash to the table.

The Actionable Strategy:

Agents must master "Subject-To" and Seller Financing transactions.

  1. Subject-To: This strategy involves buying a property "subject to" the existing mortgage. The buyer takes over the monthly payments on the seller's existing loan (likely a sub-4% rate) but the loan stays in the seller's name. The deed transfers to the buyer.
    • Why: The buyer gets a 3% interest rate in a 6.5% market. The seller gets a quick exit without penalty.
    • Risk: The "Due on Sale" clause. Agents must use specialized title companies and attorneys who understand how to structure these deals (often using land trusts) to minimize risk.
  2. Seller Carry-Back: For homes owned free and clear (common with Vegas retirees), the seller acts as the bank. They can charge 5-6% interest (better than a CD/Bond return) while offering the buyer a rate lower than a traditional mortgage. This expands the buyer pool to self-employed individuals who show low income on tax returns but have strong cash flow.
  3. Differentiation: Being the "Creative Finance Expert" in your office will make you the go-to agent for difficult deals that other agents abandon.


  1. Why Video is Non-Negotiable: The 'VidFlipper' Paradigm

In 2025, static photography is the "dial-up internet" of real estate marketing. It functions, but it fails to engage. The consumer attention span has been rewired by TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. The dominance of vertical video is not a fad; it is the primary language of digital consumption.

7.1 The Data: Why Photos Fail

The statistics regarding static imagery vs. video are damning:

  • Inquiry Volume: Listings with video receive 403% more inquiries than those without.
  • Speed: Homes with video tours sell up to 31% faster.
  • Engagement: Listings with drone and professional video see 118% higher engagement.
  • Consumer Preference: 73% of homeowners state they are more likely to list with an agent who uses video marketing.
  • Trust: Video builds emotional connection. Remote buyers (23% of the market) need to "feel" the flow of the home, which 2D photos cannot convey.

7.2 The VidFlipper Solution: Automating the 'VidFlipper' Paradigm

While the 'VidFlipper' methodology provides a clear strategic roadmap, manual execution remains a significant barrier for busy agents. This is where VidFlipper, the software, emerges as the essential enabling technology. VidFlipper is a web-based, AI-powered video automation tool designed specifically for real estate, allowing agents to execute the 'VidFlipper' workflow at scale and with unprecedented speed. It is the engine that turns strategy into content.

How VidFlipper Executes the Workflow:

  1. Automated Verticalization (The Vertical Mandate): Agents upload their standard horizontal listing photos. VidFlipper’s engine automatically reframes them into the 9:16 vertical aspect ratio. More importantly, its Motion Zoom and Focal Point technology creates dynamic panning and zooming effects, transforming a static photo into an engaging vertical video clip that feels native to mobile.

  2. Instantaneous Assembly (The 3-Second Hook & Flipper Pacing): VidFlipper can assemble a complete, high-energy video in under 60 seconds. Agents can arrange clips to ensure the "money shot" appears first. The software's pre-programmed transitions and fast-paced editing options allow for the creation of rapidly cut montages that align with the "flipper" pacing required to hold attention on social media. Agents can select from a library of royalty-free background music to match the energy.

  3. AI-Powered Storytelling (Narrative Layering): The 'VidFlipper' workflow requires compelling narrative hooks. VidFlipper automates this with multiple AI-powered features:

    • AI Script Generation: The tool can analyze property photos and details to suggest engaging hooks and descriptions.
    • AI Voiceover: It can overlay a professional AI-generated voice to narrate the video, explaining key features without the agent needing to record audio.
    • Dynamic Captions: To capture the 85% of users who watch with sound off, it automatically generates "Karaoke-style" captions that animate on screen, ensuring the narrative layer is always visible and engaging.
  4. Effortless Branding and CTA: Videos can be customized with agent branding and end-cards that feature a clear Call to Action (CTA), such as "DM for Price & Full Tour," standardizing the lead capture process.

Implementation:

With VidFlipper, agents are liberated from the time-consuming tasks of video editing. They no longer need a film crew or technical expertise. They can take photos from a listing appointment and have a polished, algorithm-friendly vertical video ready for Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook Reels before they even get back to the office. This allows agents to market every listing with high-impact video, not just their luxury properties, ensuring every client receives a premium marketing package. By adopting this tool, agents don't just follow the 'VidFlipper' strategy; they automate it.


  1. Migration Patterns: The Changing Demographics

8.1 The California Exodus Slows?

Historically, California has been the primary feeder market for Las Vegas. While Californians still represent the largest share of out-of-state buyers (approximately 19% in 2024-2025), their dominance is slipping from previous highs of 30%+.

  • Reasoning: The "low hanging fruit"—Californians desperate to leave—have largely already moved. Additionally, cooling prices in some California markets have reduced the urgency for some to exit.

8.2 The Texas Surge

The most surprising trend in 2025 is the surge of buyers from Texas. The share of Texas buyers has nearly doubled to 15%.

  • The Driver: While Texas also has no state income tax, homeowners there face skyrocketing property taxes and insurance premiums (due to weather events). Las Vegas offers the same income tax benefit but with significantly lower property tax rates (capped by Nevada law) and a lack of humidity/hurricanes.
  • Strategic Pivot: Agents should target digital marketing campaigns toward Dallas and Houston suburbs. The pitch is "Keep your tax benefits, lose the property tax bill and the humidity."


  1. Strategic Outlook: 2026 and Beyond

9.1 The "Great Housing Reset"

Looking ahead, 2026 is projected to be a year of normalization. The "Great Housing Reset" implies that the market will find a natural equilibrium.

  • Affordability: As wage growth continues and home prices remain flat (effectively falling in real terms due to inflation), affordability will slowly improve.
  • Volume: Transaction volume is expected to tick up as buyers accept the 6% rate environment and sellers become more realistic about pricing.

9.2 The Long Game

The long-term outlook for Las Vegas remains bullish. The constraints on land (federal land surrounds the valley) ensure that supply can never truly run rampant like in other markets. The continued investment in sports, medicine, and infrastructure suggests that Las Vegas is successfully transitioning from a "one-trick pony" tourism economy to a mature, diversified metropolis.

Final Directive for Agents:

The "easy money" era of 2020-2022 is a historical anomaly. The market of 2026 resembles the market of 2018 or 2019, but with higher stakes. Success will require grit, data literacy, and a willingness to embrace new technologies like 'VidFlipper' and creative financing. The agents who adapt now will own the market of the future.
