Along the coastline of southeastern Connecticut, a quiet but active corner of the commercial real estate market operates largely outside mainstream industry coverage. Working waterfronts – marinas, boat service centers, marine dealerships, and waterfront mixed-use properties – represent a distinct asset class with its own rules, risks, and buyer pool. For those who understand it, ...

Across American cities, the story of mixed-use development often follows a familiar arc: a developer unveils plans for a “vibrant, walkable destination,” ground-floor retail space gets designed into the project, and a few years after opening, those storefronts sit half-empty. The vision was compelling. The execution fell short. According to Ann Ehrhart, Founder and CEO ...

The cap rates, the insurance complications, the interest rate stalemate – Southern California real estate investors have spent the better part of three years navigating conditions that reward patience over action. Most experienced investors have adapted. What many haven’t fully reckoned with is a quieter liability: the banking relationship that looks adequate until the moment ...

The narrative around industrial real estate has been largely optimistic for several years – e-commerce tailwinds, supply chain reshoring, and strong tenant demand have kept the asset class near the top of most investors’ target lists. But as deal volume gradually recovers from a prolonged slowdown, the ground-level reality is more nuanced. Buyers are more ...

After years of steady returns, multifamily real estate is losing its grip on private equity capital. New supply has flooded key markets, rents have flattened or declined in many metros, and interest rates remain elevated, compressing margins and extending hold periods. In response, a growing number of operators are redirecting investment toward asset classes that ...

Property management rarely makes headlines the way sales markets do. Still, for investors navigating Lancaster County’s rental landscape, the decisions made at the management level are increasingly where returns are won or lost. Jeremy Ganse, owner of Our Town Management, has been working through those decisions since 2011, building a portfolio of more than 250 ...

While national headlines point to softening conditions in luxury coastal markets, the real estate picture on Long Beach Island, off the New Jersey shore, tells a different story. Persistent inventory shortages, rising price floors, and a steady stream of buyers from major metropolitan areas have kept this barrier island market climbing – even as other ...

Passaic County’s housing market reflects a pattern many suburban markets across the Northeast would recognize: too many buyers, not enough homes, and sellers who have little reason to move. For buyers, that imbalance translates into missed offers, exhausting bidding wars, and the difficult choice between holding out for the right home or settling for something ...

Just a few years ago, few predicted that downtown San Francisco condos would be among the city’s fastest-selling properties in 2026. For much of the past decade, remote work, office closures, and the tech worker exodus left these units unsold. Prices fell, investors took losses, and buyers stayed away. The market has shifted quickly. Condos ...

Even as housing markets in many parts of the country have shown signs of softening, New York City continues to attract buyers, investors, and renters at a pace that keeps inventory tight and prices firm. Rising interest rates and economic uncertainty have slowed activity in other major metros, but the city’s structural housing shortage and ...

The Twin Cities real estate market sits at a crossroads familiar to many mid-sized metros across the country: steady corporate employment keeps demand alive, but persistent inventory shortages, elevated interest rates, and shifting buyer behavior are reshaping how deals actually get done. For professionals working this market every day, the picture is more nuanced than ...

Somewhere between real estate and aviation infrastructure lies a market that most investors have never considered. Aircraft hangars at business aviation airports represent a niche but growing asset class, and Sky Harbour Group Corporation is one of the few companies systematically developing it at scale. With 22 ground leases secured across the United States and ...

A quiet but consequential pattern is playing out across the Mid-Atlantic small business market. Business brokers working the region are encountering a growing segment of prospective buyers – many of them younger, motivated, and in some cases pushed toward entrepreneurship by AI-driven job uncertainty – who lack one of the most fundamental financial assets lenders ...

The off-market real estate space in New Jersey has grown more deliberate over the past few years. Investors who once cast wide nets across multiple states are tightening their geographic focus and leaning harder into relationship-based deal-making. For Bill Beck, founder of Rise Home Buyers and co-creator of the AI sales platform Hey Rafi, that ...

Western North Carolina’s commercial real estate market has always operated by its own rules. Tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville has historically defied national trends, maintaining strong demand and low vacancy even when larger metros struggled. But since Hurricane Helene struck on September 27, 2024, the market has entered a period of recalibration that ...
