For investors using platforms like Bricksave, the technological edge offers a significant advantage. AI and other tools are streamlining the investment process, enabling better decision-making and enhanced market analysis. This digital evolution positions Bricksave and its investors to capitalise on market opportunities with increased confidence.

Cash buyers hold the upper hand

Rising property values and high mortgage rates have made the market challenging for buyers relying on debt. However, for cash buyers—like Bricksave investors—this creates a strategic advantage. Bricksave’s debt-free purchasing model allows for more aggressive negotiations and better terms, especially in a competitive environment.

Deloitte’s forecast of an "extended window for acquisitions" reinforces this advantage, as investors with readily available capital can act swiftly to secure promising properties. This approach ensures that Bricksave investors can leverage market dynamics to their benefit.

Property prices and rental yields on the rise

Redfin projects a 4% increase in home prices for 2025, translating to significant gains for property owners. For instance, a typical USD 125,000 property in Chicago would cost approximately USD 130,000 by next year. Higher-value properties, such as Bricksave’s first Cleveland crowdfunding property, could see even greater appreciation.

At the same time, U.S. News Real Estate anticipates a rise in rental prices, creating a "renter’s market" where renting becomes more affordable than buying. For investors, this means higher rental yields alongside property appreciation, maximising returns across multiple revenue streams.

Diversifying across multifamily and single-family properties

Multifamily properties are set to remain a popular choice for investors in 2025. Deloitte highlights strong demand in this sector, driven by population growth and the need for rental housing. At the same time, single-family homes continue to attract interest due to their stability and appreciation potential.

For investors seeking a balanced portfolio, combining multifamily and single-family properties can help mitigate risks while maximising returns. Platforms like Bricksave make this diversification accessible, allowing investors to tap into different market segments with ease.

North America: A focal point for investors

Geographically, North America remains a key focus for real estate investment. Deloitte reports that 53% of U.S. investors and 50% of Canadian investors see their domestic markets as the best opportunities. This confidence reflects the stability and growth potential of cities like Chicago, Cleveland, and San Antonio—key markets where Bricksave operates.

With property values rising and transaction activity increasing, the North American market offers promising prospects for investors looking to grow their portfolios close to home.
