KeyCrew's Consumer Real Estate Coverage
When a condo sits on the market for months with no offers, most sellers assume the price is the problem. Sometimes it is.

Not all Austin real estate is moving at the same pace. Buyers shopping for a traditional single-family home in a strong school district will find real competition. But those eyeing a condo — whether a downtown high-rise or a small complex on the east side — have more time, more leverage, and more options than ...
Most people think real estate investing means buying a rental property and watching the money roll in. The reality is more complex — and more rewarding. Daniel Berger, broker-owner of RE/MAX Prestige Properties in Westchester County, New York, has spent the last decade selling investment properties and buying them himself. That hands-on experience informs advice ...
There’s a quiet but telling pattern at open houses across northwestern Vermont. A buyer walks in, glances at the dated kitchen, peeks at the bathroom, and – without saying much – moves on. No offer. No callback. Just a polite exit and a mental note to keep looking. With more inventory available than at any ...
Rhode Island’s housing market remains tilted toward sellers heading into spring 2026. Still, the dynamics have shifted enough that sellers relying on 2022 or 2023 strategies are watching their homes sit on the market. Inventory is still historically low, and demand from out-of-state buyers continues to push prices up in key areas. Buyers have grown ...
After two years of frantic bidding wars and same-day offers, the Central Jersey housing market has slowed enough to give buyers meaningful leverage for the first time since the pandemic boom.

Everyone assumes the most desirable, move-in-ready homes in Florida are flying off the market. And sometimes they are. But a quieter pattern is emerging — one where dated, overlooked, and inherited properties are finding buyers faster than many polished listings, and where sellers who expected top dollar are watching their homes sit for months. Rising ...
There’s a reason real estate investors keep running into the same problem in Rockland County, New York: there’s almost nothing left to buy at a bargain. The county is small, nearly fully developed, and packed with buyers who want to live there, not flip it. That dynamic has created one of the most persistently competitive ...
If your investment portfolio is mostly stocks right now, you’ve probably been feeling pretty good lately. Markets have been hitting new records. But some experienced investors are quietly asking a different question: Is this the moment to take some chips off the table and move into real estate? It’s a question worth sitting with — ...
If you own a rental property in Phoenix — or you’re thinking about buying one — the market today looks very different from even a year ago. Rents are down in some neighborhoods, vacancies are up, and landlords are offering concessions to fill units. But the picture varies depending on where you are and what ...
Drive through almost any downtown in America right now, and you’ll spot them — big office buildings with dark windows, empty parking garages, and “For Lease” signs that have been up for years.

You’ve seen the listings. Stunning waterfront homes with custom finishes, open floor plans, and views that make you forget what state you’re in.
