This is an exceptionally special year for our Real Estate Trends research and writing, and specifically the Swanepoel TRENDS Report.

Firstly, I have for the first time formally invited and few industry thinkers to join me as authors and contributors in delving even deeper into the trends, shifts and changes that are shaping our beloved industry. To each and everyone that gave of his or her knowledge and time to help make this an even more comprehensive Report, you have my sincere appreciation and gratitude. This Report has become the annual official industry anthology and definitive work, and for that I salute you.
