Foreclosure activity has been climbing nationally for more than a year. ATTOM Data Solutions reported twelve consecutive months of year-over-year increases in national foreclosure filings as of early 2026, even as levels remain well below historic norms. Georgia is one of the states where that climb has been sharpest: ATTOM’s mid-year 2026 report put Georgia ...
Across much of the San Francisco Bay Area, the homes that once served as the first rung for young professionals are struggling to find buyers. In East Bay cities like Hayward, Fremont, Newark, Pleasanton, Dublin, and Livermore, prices are falling month over month, and the decline hasn’t stopped yet. Townhomes and condos are taking the ...
The Pocono Mountains real estate market is not one market. It is several, running at different speeds and serving different buyers – and the gap between them is widening in ways that matter for investors trying to deploy capital in the region. In the gated communities around Tobyhanna – specifically Pocono Country Place and Pocono ...
A county of 30,000 residents doesn’t typically land distribution centers from AutoZone, Amazon, FedEx, and Target in the span of a few years. But New Kent County, Virginia – a largely rural stretch between Richmond and Williamsburg along Interstate 64 – has done exactly that, and the infrastructure demands are catching up fast. A $104 ...
South Weber, Utah, sits in a canyon between Layton and Ogden along the Wasatch Front, with a population of about 8,200 and roughly 2,400 housing units. By most measures, it is a small market. But it faces a structural constraint most growing Utah communities do not share: the town is approaching its buildable limit, with ...
Alameda, California, sits less than ten miles from downtown San Francisco, connected to Oakland by bridges and a tunnel. It has roughly 80,000 residents, some of the oldest housing stock in the state, and school ratings that draw families priced out of San Francisco’s lottery-based system. Yet for a city this close to one of ...
A lender paying a full-time processor $30,000 to $40,000 a year bears that cost whether the company closes five loans in a month or fifty. That math has become harder to justify industry-wide. According to Mortgage Bankers Association data, average production profit per loan sat at just 25 basis points in the second quarter of ...
Tracy, California sits roughly an hour from San Francisco, San Jose, and Sacramento – a position that has long made it a magnet for Bay Area commuters seeking more house for less money. But in 2026, that calculus has grown more complicated. Inventory is climbing, homes are averaging about 45 days on the market, according ...
For most of the past six years, sellers in New Lenox – a southwest suburb of Chicago with strong schools and relatively affordable housing – could list a home with loose pricing and still attract multiple offers within days. That dynamic is changing, according to Tyler Burlison, a listing-focused agent with eXp Realty who has ...
In little more than a year, property management in England has taken on three major new obligations, each added to a compliance regime that was already dense. In April 2025, employer National Insurance rose from 13.8% to 15%, and the earnings threshold at which employers start paying it fell from £9,100 to £5,000. In April ...
Austin’s residential real estate market has long been associated with tech-driven demand. But in 2026, the buyer pool powering the city’s housing activity looks different than it did even two years ago, according to Shivraj Grewal, founder of Grewal RE Group. The tech workers who flooded in during the pandemic-era boom – many on H1B ...
By the numbers, Clark County, Washington, remains in seller’s market territory. At 3.9 months of inventory, the metro area just north of Portland, Oregon, hasn’t crossed the four-month threshold that local agents use to mark a balanced market. But the numbers and the experience on the ground are telling different stories – and for buyers ...
The common complaint about building permits is that local governments move too slowly. Developers blame red tape. Homeowners blame indifferent city staff. But a growing number of state legislatures have concluded the deeper issue isn’t attitude; it’s information: the data planners need to answer a simple zoning question – what can I build here? – ...
The standard pitch to recruit a real estate agent in 2026 leads with technology, a better CRM, an AI-powered lead tool, a slicker transaction platform. But agents who have survived three years of litigation upheaval, commission compression, rate volatility, and a wave of major brokerage consolidations are asking for something else. They don’t need another ...
