Our reading: the higher the 5+ share, the more new homes will need a building or association manager as well as a listing agent. Permit data does not say whether units will be rentals or condos.

Left out: Real: its state-licenses page lists no address in this metro. RE/MAX (part of Real REMAX Group): offices are independently owned franchises, so we do not pick one franchisee to stand for the brand. eXp Realty: we found no office directory on its site. Fathom: its offices page returned a not-found page on 2026-10-21. Asset Living and Willow Bridge Property Company: neither site has city location pages we could find. Charles Rutenberg Realty: its home page showed no office address when we loaded it. Claims such as “leading” or “#1” are the firms’ own words.
