Based on data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the typical real estate agent had 12 annual transactions in 2022, up slightly from the previous average of 10 annual transactions. It's important to note that transaction sides are not a strict measure of homes sold, as an agent earns a transaction side when they help either a buyer or a seller close a sale. This means that an agent could potentially earn two transaction sides for a single home sale if they represent both the buyer and the seller.
On average, realtors sell just 12 homes a year, although this number can vary widely depending on factors such as experience, location, and market conditions. For example, realtors in markets with high demand and limited inventory may sell more homes than those in markets with lower demand and more inventory. Additionally, realtors who specialize in certain types of properties, such as luxury homes or investment properties, may have a higher average number of sales than those who work with a more general clientele. It's also worth noting that the majority of realtors sell between 2-10 homes a year, and only a small number of realtors sell more than a hundred homes a year.
