More or less the same number of homes sell each and every year (give or take). Granted, there are highs-and-lows—but the differences aren’t overly extreme. For example, Statista reports:
• 2018: 5.34M, US
• 2019: 5.34M, US
• 2020: 5.64M, US
• 2021: 6.49M, US
**US median between 2005 and 2021 of 5.25M homes sold**
The more widely fluctuating statistic has to do with 𝘸𝘩𝘰 sells ‘em. Real estate has an unfortunate rate of failure—meaning, sadly, agents tend to come and go. Case in point, you might’ve heard that 87% of agents fail within the first 5 years of entering the real estate industry and it shouldn’t be a surprise that the bulk of sales are fulfilled by a relatively small subsection of agents—call it 80/20.
