Coronado, California, sells roughly 275 to 300 homes a year across an island with no vacant land and no room to expand. That fixed supply has always shaped the market, but it is now producing visible fault lines between price tiers. Oceanfront and bayfront properties above $10 million are setting new records. Older homes on ...
Hispanic buyers are carrying U.S. homeownership growth. According to the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP), Hispanic households added 441,000 net new homeowners in 2025. That is more than the country’s entire net gain, and without them the U.S. would have lost roughly 125,000 owner households. Diana Vasquez has spent 13 years in ...
In Tucson, Arizona, quality still sells at the top of the market. A $925,000 home in Oro Valley, one of the area’s higher-end districts, recently sold at full price in six days after drawing more than one offer. Michael Oliver, who co-owns Oliver Realty, a boutique luxury brokerage, with his wife, Heather, calls multiple offers ...
Tucson’s housing market has cooled along with much of the Sun Belt in 2026, but the slowdown has not thinned its buyer pool. Redfin puts the metro’s median sale price in the mid-$300,000s, down slightly from a year ago, and closed sales through the first half of the year ran slightly ahead of 2025. Active ...
By any standard measure, the resale market around Houston is balanced. The Houston Association of Realtors put metro-wide single-family inventory at 5.5 months in September, and the association’s chair has described balance as the market’s defining feature. Agents typically read four to six months of supply as balance, the range where a well-priced home should ...
South of Wichita, Kansas, the obstacle to closing a sale has moved from the list price to the buyer’s wallet. Mortgage rates in the sevens have shrunk what buyers can borrow and left them with less cash to bring to closing. In towns like Belle Plaine, Mulvane, and Oxford, sellers increasingly make up the difference: ...
A sudden rise in mortgage rates has not landed evenly across Hampton Roads, Virginia. Over three weeks to a month, rates climbed almost a full percentage point, according to Bubba Hutchison, who leads Hutchison & Co. at RE/MAX Connect in Yorktown. Freddie Mac’s weekly survey tracked the same climb: the average 30-year fixed rate rose ...
For most of the past two decades, the conventional playbook for condominium buyers in San Francisco followed a predictable arc: buy a studio, sell in five to seven years, move up to a one-bedroom, repeat. Appreciation was reliable enough that buyers could treat each purchase as a stepping stone. That assumption no longer holds, according ...
Harford County, Maryland, never gave back its pandemic-era gains. Prices in the rural county 30 minutes north of Baltimore rose slowly and without a dip from 2020 until about May of this year, according to Lee Tessier, who leads the Lee Tessier Team of eXp Realty in Bel Air. Over the same stretch, he says, ...
Data center construction is pushing smaller buyers to the back of the line for sand, gravel, and stone. Wherever large campuses go up, they claim local supply before anyone else places an order. When a quarry commits its stock to one of those projects, the homeowner building a pool or the small developer pouring a ...
Brokers tend to talk about MLS fragmentation as a tax on growth – the cost of joining one more system every time a team pushes into new territory. For the brokerages large enough to pay their way around it, fragmentation also works as a competitive barrier against everyone who can’t. Close to 500 MLSs still ...
For years, renting was understood as a temporary condition, something you did while you saved, while you waited, while you figured out where you wanted to land. Homeownership was the destination. Renting was the road. That framework is breaking down. Across the country, renters who expected to buy are staying put longer than they planned, ...
Buyers are making offers on homes that don’t exist yet. Investors are committing capital to buildings before a shovel hits the ground. The technology making that possible is reshaping every stage of the transaction, from the first online search to the closing table. Not long ago, a real estate transaction depended almost entirely on physical ...
