What We’re Up To
Welcome to the 79th issue of the TGFLIP Marketing Agency Newsletter!
Our Goal with this newsletter is to provide you with the latest news, insights, and best practices in marketing, with a focus on real estate and small business marketing.
As we wrap up 2025, TGFLIP Marketing Agency is excited to share our insights and reflections in this, our 79th newsletter. This year has been marked by noteworthy changes in the real estate market and significant advancements in digital marketing strategies. Let’s dive deep into the trends we observed throughout 2025 and the opportunities that lie ahead in 2026.
2025 Real Estate Trends: A Year in Review
The U.S. real estate market showcased several key trends in 2025, which shaped the landscape for buyers, sellers, and investors alike.
Firstly, we experienced a period of slow price growth. According to the National Association of Realtors, home prices rose at an annual rate of just 2.5%. While modest, this increase represents a shift from the rapid escalation witnessed in previous years. Øne reason for this slowdown was the increased inventory in the market. With more homes available, potential buyers found it a bit easier to find the perfect home without feeling overwhelmed by bidding wars.

Additionally, lower mortgage rates contributed to a boost in demand. As rates dipped to an average of 3.6%, many buyers took advantage of the favorable conditions, resulting in a notable uptick in purchasing activity across various demographics.
Lastly, the combination of these factors created a unique environment where more buying activity occurred. First-time homebuyers particularly leveraged this opportunity, driven by favorable financing options and a greater selection of homes.
Implications for Buyers, Sellers, and Investors
With the landscape of real estate evolving, various market participants faced distinct challenges and opportunities.
For Buyers:
The slower price growth and increased inventory indicated an opportune moment for buyers looking to invest in property. The lower mortgage rates made homeownership more accessible, allowing buyers to lock in fixed payments which can contribute to long-term wealth. Smart buyers took time to do their due diligence, focusing on properties within their budget and carefully considering long-term value.
For Sellers:
Despite the increased inventory, sellers who priced their homes competitively enjoyed successful sales. Given the slower appreciation of home values, understanding current market dynamics became essential for sellers to avoid pricing their homes too high.
For Investors:
Investors looking at the changing dynamics found new opportunities in areas with a lower cost per square foot. Many began pivoting towards hybrid strategies, focusing on buy-and-hold investments while also exploring short-term rentals in more desirable locations. The mixed signals in the market encouraged a nuanced approach to investment.
Looking Ahead: Expert Predictions for 2026
As we gaze into 2026, anticipations for improved affordability loom large, along with expectations for softer price growth and uneven buying activity. Experts predict that property prices will stabilize, reflecting a more tempered rise, which could significantly enhance housing affordability.
States such as Texas and Florida are expected to experience growth in buyers due to job migration and pleasant living conditions, while other regions might see a slowdown. Therefore, strategic decision-making will be critical.
Digital marketing will likewise transform in 2026. Influential trends are anticipated within the digital marketing sphere, where concepts like AI-powered search and privacy-first data will dominate. The necessity for businesses to adopt integrated full-funnel marketing will become paramount to engaging customers effectively.

The rise of hybrid content formats—incorporating video, infographics, and articles—will be crucial in capturing diverse audience segments. Marketers will need to focus on hyper-personalization to tailor messages that resonate with each consumer closely. The growing expectation of personalized experiences indicates that businesses should invest in strategies that leverage technology to meet these demands.
