While home values have softened and transaction volumes slowed across much of the country, Vermont’s most densely populated region has followed its own path. Chittenden County — anchored by Burlington and its surrounding communities — has maintained housing demand that continues to outpace supply, driven by factors that extend well beyond interest-rate sensitivity. Joe Villemaire, ...

The great wealth transfer has been discussed in financial circles for years. Still, the practical reality of what happens when families actually inherit real estate is far messier than the headline numbers suggest. Probate timelines, multi-heir disagreements, stepped-up basis decisions, and the challenge of finding the right broker for an unfamiliar property type – these ...

The Adirondack region of upstate New York is one of the most unique real estate markets in the country — shaped by protected land, seasonal demand, and a tight housing supply that shows no signs of loosening. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a second-home seeker, or a short-term rental investor, understanding how this market works ...

Most families don’t start thinking about senior living until they have to. By then, the decisions feel urgent, the options feel overwhelming, and it’s hard to know what actually separates a community worth trusting from one that just photographs well. Shawn Tacey, CEO of Vineyard Park Senior Living, has spent more than 15 years inside ...

After several years of breakneck activity driven by low interest rates and pandemic-era migration, Miami’s luxury residential market has settled into a calmer rhythm. Inventory has grown, buyers are taking more time, and the bidding wars that defined 2021 through 2023 have largely faded. Yet demand at the upper end remains solid, with significant deals ...

Charlotte’s short-term rental market has become noticeably more competitive over the past few years. What was once a relatively open field for casual investors now demands operational discipline, smart pricing, and differentiated properties, qualities that increasingly separate operators who thrive from those who quietly exit. Few people have watched this more closely than Teri Trifiletti, ...

National headlines about a cooling housing market may be accurate in parts of the country, but they don’t reflect what is happening on the ground in New Jersey’s Somerset County. While markets like Phoenix, Austin, and Chicago have experienced notable corrections, this corner of the Northeast has remained firmly in seller’s market territory, and the ...

After years of clear seller’s and buyer’s markets, Charlotte’s residential real estate market has become harder to read. Some homes sell within hours. Others sit for months. The difference often comes down to the individual property rather than broader market conditions. This marks a departure from the predictable patterns that defined the market through the ...

New York City’s townhouse market is shifting in ways that reward preparation over promotion. While renovated properties are moving fast, sometimes without ever reaching public listings, unrenovated homes are sitting longer as buyers pull back from the cost and complexity of major construction projects. The divide is sharpening, and the brokers navigating it most effectively ...

Westchester County, New York, has consistently outperformed comparable suburban markets through multiple economic downturns, from the 1988 stock market correction to the 2008 financial crisis. Its position just north of New York City, combined with access to strong public schools and relatively short commute times, has made it a reliable destination for families relocating from ...

Fort Worth, Texas, has ranked among the fastest-growing cities in the United States, adding roughly 20,000 residents annually over the past two decades. That pace of growth has driven up housing costs, strained permitting systems, and exposed the limits of aging infrastructure across the city — pressures especially concentrated in District 9, which spans downtown, ...

Vail Valley’s real estate market has cooled, not crashed, but the cracks are showing. After years of frenzied pandemic buying that sent home prices soaring and inventory plummeting, Eagle County is now a market where homes sit, buyers walk, and the short-term rental income that sold so many on ownership is quietly falling short of ...

While home prices are easing across much of the United States in 2026, buyers in Westchester County are living a completely different reality. Properties here are routinely closing between 107% and 115% of their asking price, bidding wars involve dozens of competing offers, and inventory remains far too thin to give buyers any leverage. The ...

After several years of compressed deal flow and a persistent gap between buyer and seller expectations, Oklahoma’s retail investment market is showing signs of renewed activity. For those tracking the state’s commercial real estate landscape, the pickup feels less like a sudden reversal and more like a gradual acceptance of new pricing realities – one ...

Across California, state housing mandates and local planning priorities are increasingly at odds. Few places illustrate that tension as clearly as San Diego’s Point Loma Peninsula, where a 67,000-resident community is caught between developer ambitions, state density requirements, and infrastructure largely built during World War II. Two major projects could add tens of thousands of ...
