Inventory remains tight across much of New York’s Capital Region and surrounding counties. Still, the frantic pace that defined 2020 and 2021 has given way to something more measured, according to Heather Etzel, a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson with Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty. Buyers are no longer waiving inspections or bidding blindly against themselves. ...
The Hudson Valley real estate market isn’t short on demand. It’s short on sellers willing to move. In Dutchess County and the surrounding area, roughly halfway between New York City and Albany, homeowners who locked in mortgage rates of 2% to 3% five or six years ago are staying put, even when their families outgrow ...
Two years ago, Manhattan’s office market carried vacancy rates around 25 percent, a figure that reflected years of pandemic-era uncertainty and leasing volume that had cratered from a healthy annual pace of 40 million square feet to single digits. Today, according to Bert Rosenblatt, Managing Principal at Cresa’s New York office, that vacancy rate sits ...
San Antonio has long attracted relocating buyers, military families on PCS orders, civilian contractors, and professionals priced out of Austin, because of its relative affordability. But the math that once made the market accessible is now working against both sides of the transaction simultaneously. Sellers who locked in mortgage rates below 3.5% recognize that even ...
Portland set a goal of adding 6,000 housing units per year through 2032. Last year, the city managed 1,652. That shortfall has created space for development models that don’t follow the conventional acquire-permit-build sequence. One emerging approach skips the land acquisition step entirely by partnering directly with existing landowners who have buildable space but no ...
The real estate headlines in mid-2026 paint a familiar picture: interest rates remain a drag on activity, affordability is stretched, and transaction volume is softening. But in the communities stretching across Montgomery County north of Houston, conditions on the ground look considerably different. Inventory is expanding in some pockets while remaining tight in others. New ...
The narrative around Joshua Tree’s short-term rental market has settled into a simple story: the boom ended, and what’s left is a cautionary tale. The reality on the ground is more nuanced. The correction that began in 2022 didn’t eliminate opportunity in the high desert; it redistributed it, punishing generic properties while leaving experiential, well-positioned ...
A few years ago in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, a house with a hole in the ceiling could attract 20 offers overnight. That market is gone. What replaced it is one in which condition determines whether a property moves at all, and where sellers who can’t or won’t invest in repairs are increasingly turning to ...
The North Dallas suburbs – McKinney, Frisco, Prosper, and surrounding Collin County – spent the past decade absorbing wave after wave of corporate relocations. Toyota moved its headquarters to the Plano-Frisco corridor. Texas Instruments is building a new facility in Sherman. Professional sports franchises set up training operations across the area. That inflow hasn’t stopped, ...
The gap between perception and data in Tampa Bay’s housing market is wider than usual. With 3.8 months of inventory in Tampa and 4.1 in Orlando – figures that technically describe a seller’s market – the mood on the ground tells a different story, according to Tony Baroni, Founder & Team Leader of The Tony ...
Construction technology has attracted billions in venture capital on the promise that software and automation would bring costs down. But for owners and developers – the people actually funding projects – costs have continued to climb year over year, even as contractors and subcontractors report real efficiency gains from AI adoption. The gains are real; ...
Two markets separated by a single zip code are moving in opposite directions. Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, posted a 13.6% year-over-year price increase in the second quarter, a pace driven by scarce land and a buyer pool heavily weighted toward cash purchasers relocating from the Northeast and California, according to Gwinn Volen, Owner, CEO & ...
The common assumption about modular construction is that it exists to serve one purpose: cheap housing for cost-constrained developments. That framing is outdated. Modular systems are increasingly showing up in five-star hotels, commercial buildings, and resort developments – applications where finish quality and design matter as much as cost savings. The shift is being driven ...
Most homes for sale in the Portland metro area were built before 1970. That single fact, an overwhelmingly old housing stock in a rainy climate, shapes nearly every transaction, from how buyers compete to how sellers price, and increasingly, how long a listing sits. The divide isn’t between Portland and its suburbs. It’s between move-in-ready ...
In a state where some coastal markets are showing visible strain – rising inventory, price drops, sluggish sales – Brevard County on Florida’s Space Coast is holding steady. The market isn’t hot. It’s not setting records across the board. But it’s absorbing demand at a pace that looks more like a healthy norm than either ...
