Hi, I'm wondering if any agents in Nashville have noticed any actually shifting trends in commission structure since the NAR ruling?

I have a degree in civil engineering and 15 years construction, site development, and short term rental experience and am looking to shift my focus/career towards real estate development, mainly raw land although if there were a house on the property could include fix and flip.I plan to purchase 50+ acres of raw land with 1000+ feet of road frontage, have it surveyed and split into separate 5+ acre parcels for re-listing.

I have been digging into the 2025 Trump tax proposals, and the more I look at them, the more it seems we’re in for a complex market shift—especially for real estate.

The median listing price's upward trend suggests higher asking prices, while the decrease in sold median prices reflects a potential shift in buyer negotiation power or market adjustments.

From what I’ve seen in Bloomberg, it also doesn’t hurt to keep tabs on any shifts in local buying trends.One more thing I’d consider is the exit strategy.

You can't overcome a change in the market but your margins need to still be large enough to not lose your shirt if the market does shift like it did the last several months.

Our ability to offer cash and close quickly gave us an edge, allowing us to secure the property under market value and position it for a seamless resale.

This is a very fluid exercise and SHOULD be done frequently so that you know you’re making progress and can shift your goals as life develops.

Make no mistake, shifting a "big war chest" from liquid investments and cash into a cash flowing real estate portfolio is not a passive endeavor.
