Real Estate Global Market Report 2024

The real estate market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4016.66 billion in 2023 to $4314.99 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to robust economic growth in emerging markets, a heightened demand for affordable housing, government initiatives, and an increase in disposable incomes.

The real estate market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5667.94 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the increased investments in infrastructure, a rising population, escalating urbanization, and a decline in interest rates. Key trends expected in the forecast period include a focus on utilizing blockchain for simplified transferability and providing customers with greater control over property transactions, the integration of data analytics to gain insights into market trends, pricing, and customer preferences, the incorporation of AR (Augmented Reality) and VR (Virtual Reality) in real estate, the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) technology for developing projections on rental prices and determining house prices, and the adoption of alternative payment methods to enable customers to pay their rent using credit.

The growth of the real estate market is expected to be supported by stable economic growth projected in both developed and developing countries. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts global real GDP growth to be 3.6% from 2021 to 2023. The recovery of commodity prices, following a significant decline in the historical period, is anticipated to further contribute to market growth. Developed economies are expected to experience stable growth throughout the forecast period, while emerging markets are projected to grow slightly faster than their developed counterparts. For example, according to World Bank data, India's GDP increased to $3,173.40 billion in 2021, compared to $2,667.69 billion in 2020.

The rising demand for construction activities is poised to drive the growth of the real estate market in the future. The construction industry, encompassing a variety of activities related to building, altering, and repairing structures, infrastructure, and industrial facilities, benefits from continuous opportunities and projects provided by the real estate sector. This dynamic relationship supports the growth, innovation, and sustainability of the construction industry. For instance, in June 2021, according to Stats NZ Tatauranga Aotearoa, building activities in New Zealand increased by 3.7 percent in March 2021, and residential activities rose by 4.3 percent in 2021 compared to 2020. Additionally, the US Census Bureau reported a 10.2% growth in the value of construction activities, increasing from $1,626.4 billion in 2021 to $1,792.9 billion in 2022. Therefore, the increasing demand for construction activities is a key driver behind the growth of the real estate market.


Gen Z, born between the mid-1990s and early 2000s, represents the subsequent generation of renters following the millennials, and they are anticipated to surpass other generations in lifetime spending on rental services. Being highly tech-dependent, Gen Z relies extensively on the internet and social media for making purchasing and lifestyle decisions. Given their lifelong exposure to technology, real estate rental services must integrate technology into leasing and marketing campaigns to effectively engage with Gen Z on platforms where they are most active, such as apps, social media, and other online sources. With Gen Z constituting almost a quarter of the U.S. population, the real estate market is poised for growth from this generation in the five-year period from 2019 to 2023.

These AI-powered tools were designed to automate the listing entry process, enhance user safety on IDX and VOW websites, and enrich and elevate the value of MLS data.
