    The Real Brokerage Inc. released results from its April 2025 Agent Survey, showing a modest pullback in home sales activity following March's rebound. However, agent sentiment remained constructive, with nearly 60% of agents optimistic about their local markets over the next 12 months.

    "April's survey data reflects a market still searching for direction," said Tamir Poleg, Chairman and CEO of Real. "While higher rates continue to weigh on affordability, agent optimism remains strong."

    Key Survey Findings:

    * Home Sales Activity Slows: Real's Transaction Growth Index declined to 47.8 in April, down from 50.2 in March.

    * Agent Optimism Softens but Remains Elevated: The Agent Optimism Index decreased to 65.8 in April from 70.4 in March, with 59% of agents feeling more optimistic and 14% feeling more pessimistic.

    * Market Power Remains Split: In April, 34% of agents said their local market favored sellers, 34% favored buyers, and 32% described conditions as balanced.

    * Affordability Still the Top Concern: Agents cited affordability (49%) and economic uncertainty (23%) as the biggest challenges for homebuyers.

    "Our platform was built to support agents across all market conditions," said Sharran Srivatsaa, President of Real. "We give agents the tools to make the right call for their clients."
