Thinking of selling this winter? Well, get in line. Sellers now face fewer buyers and more competing listings than at any point in more than a decade, according to Redfin. In September, sellers outnumbered buyers by an estimated 62.6%, the widest gap in records dating to 2013. Those figures describe the country as a whole, ...
In South Lake Tahoe, roughly 65 percent of homes are not owner-occupied, according to Brandie Griffith of the Brandie Griffith & Molly Jordan Real Estate Team at Realty World – Lake Tahoe. Many of those owners rent their properties short term, so access to the city’s vacation home rental permits matters to a large share ...
The senior housing industry has a straightforward supply problem: the baby boomer generation is reaching the age for senior housing at an accelerating pace, while new construction has yet to recover from a years-long post-pandemic stall. Capital wants in. Developers and operators want to build. But construction costs, interest rates, land scarcity, and acquisition pricing ...
The buyers who discovered Pike and Wayne counties during COVID haven’t left. That is the view of Bridget Gelderman, broker/owner of Iron Valley Real Estate Innovate, whose three offices cover the two northeastern Pennsylvania counties. The area sits in the Pocono Mountains, about two hours from New York City and two to three hours from ...
Dallas’s southern sector has long trailed the rest of the metro in new development, and parts of it still lack basic retail, infrastructure, and even grocery stores. That gap is starting to close. National homebuilders, city financing, and master-planned communities are now committing to the area, and buyers who arrive ahead of that development stand ...
The western suburbs of Chicago have a pricing fault line, and it runs right through the $350,000 mark. Below it, multiple-offer situations and bidding wars still define the experience for buyers. Above it, the market loosens considerably – and the dynamics, negotiation tactics, and buyer psychology shift with it. That split is shaping strategy for ...
A home that doesn’t sell in its first three weeks on the Charlotte market now faces an average wait of roughly three months – a gap that reveals how sharply buyers are sorting properties into two categories. According to Jay White, who leads a 40-agent team in Charlotte and expects to close around 300 transactions ...
New York City’s small multifamily market has split into two distinct economies operating under the same skyline. Rent-stabilized buildings are trading at steep discounts as owners contend with a rent freeze, rising taxes, and climbing utility costs – with no mechanism to increase income. Market-rate properties, meanwhile, are appreciating 5 to 10 percent annually, according ...
Sedona’s broader housing market has gone soft. Existing homes now sell below replacement cost, and high interest rates and elevated prices have left most buyers with limited purchasing power, according to Paul Galloway, broker at Galloway Realty and builder with Galloway Custom Homes in Sedona. But at the very top, new construction at $1,000 to ...
A listing that lingers used to carry a stigma: buyers assumed something was wrong with the house. In markets with ample inventory, that reading has changed. A long stay on the market now tells buyers less about the property than about the seller – specifically, that the seller is willing to negotiate. The stigma hasn’t ...
National data suggests American families are pulling back from buying homes together. In the National Association of Realtors’ 2026 Home Buyers and Sellers Generational Trends report, 14% of buyers purchased a multigenerational home – one shared by adult children, adult siblings, parents, or grandparents – down from 17% a year earlier. The reasons families buy ...
Homeowners who fall behind on a mortgage, and who owe more than their house would sell for, often assume foreclosure is the only way the situation can end. It isn’t.
