A short YouTube interview excerpt (Real Estate Team OS, Mar 24, 2025) in which Mark Adams (SVP, Housing Wire Real Estate Group) reviews five-year trends for real estate teams: average team size at about nine, growth concentrated at the upper end (more agents joining teams), and declining per-agent productivity since the 2021 market peak. Adams cites 2021 as a high point (≈3% interest rates; ~17 transaction sides per agent on teams) and reports a drop to ~11 transaction sides per agent in the most recent year, with projections expecting continued decline.

Here are a few trends in the data behind real estate teams.
Teams have grown. You know, when we look at the past five years the average team size has hovered around like the seven last year we almost topped. The average team size is nine. That's not a huge jump in numbers on the aggregate. But when you look at the upper end of the scale, there is a big flight of people into teams. And one thing that's driven is the decreased productivity of teams over the past two years. Largely productivity is following the housing market. You know, we saw the highest per agent productivity productivity in a team occurring in 2021 when the market was was hot. Interest rates were 3%. We are all the way up to 17 transaction sides per agent on a team. This last year we were down to 11. We're projecting that's going to continue to decrease. We're always keeping an eye on the data. It's always telling interesting stories.
