The role
What a real estate economist actually does, day to day.
As a real estate economist, you use numbers and trends to help people understand the property market. You look at things like house prices, rents, interest rates and how many people are moving to an area - then work out what might happen next. Builders, property companies and local councils use your advice to decide where to build new houses, offices and shops.
Day to day, you collect and study data about the property market, create reports explaining what you found, and talk to clients about what your findings mean for their plans. You need to be good at spotting patterns in numbers and good at explaining what those patterns mean to people who are not economists.
