Plunkett Research, Ltd. has released its newest market research and competitive analysis report, Plunkett’s Real Estate and Construction Industry Almanac, 2010 edition, which identifies and analyzes major trends shaping the real estate and construction industry.

According to Jack W. Plunkett, CEO of Plunkett Research, Ltd., “While the U.S. residential market is stabilizing, the commercial market has multiple problems to overcome, including oversupply, high vacancies and a high rate of commercial mortgage foreclosures.”

Major trends affecting the Real Estate and Construction Industry analyzed in Plunkett’s report include:

Internet-based cheap commissions rock residential brokers.
Buildings go green.
Baby boomers a strong influence in housing. Universal design catches on.
Commercial construction is down as vacancies soar.
Commercial mortgage defaults and foreclosures rise.
Real estate markets in China and India heat up.
Shopping center tenants face slow sales. Store closings force landlords to become creative.
Remodeling rebounds - Home sizes shrink.

“While Asian real estate and construction markets have been booming once again, American and European markets will remain soft for some time,” says Jack Plunkett.

A complete report with detailed industry trends and statistics analysis is provided in Plunkett’s Real Estate and Construction Industry Almanac, 2010 edition. This exciting new book covers competitive intelligence, market research and business analysis--everything you need to know about the real estate, construction, investment and property management business. This valuable reference also includes thousands of contacts for business and industry leaders, industry associations and industry sites, as well as statistical tables, an industry glossary and thorough indexes - all in one value-priced, easy-to-use package.

A complimentary video of Plunkett discussing these trends will available on the Plunkett Research website and YouTube, and an Introduction to the Real Estate and Construction Industry can be viewed at Plunkett’s website.
