The traditional office lease, five or ten years, fixed rent, passive landlord, made sense when vacancy in major metros hovered in the single digits. In Los Angeles today, roughly 40% of office space sits empty, according to Jerome Chang, founder and licensed architect of BLANKSPACES, one of America’s longest-running coworking brands. That vacancy rate means ...
Insurance companies already know what’s wrong with a house before a buyer makes an offer. They know the roof age, the flood exposure, the permit history. Buyers typically don’t have access to that same information until after closing, or never at all. That gap between what insurers know and what buyers see is not a ...
The Hamptons real estate market remains stable even as buyer behavior becomes more cautious and deliberate. Veteran agents Patricia Oakley and Brian Leicht of the Oakley Leicht team at Saunders & Associates describe a landscape shaped by long-term changes in demand, inventory, and buyer expectations. Oakley, who entered real estate after 18 years in pharmaceuticals, ...
In the stretch of coastline running from Hallandale Beach through Hollywood, Aventura, and Sunny Isles, the condo market is not experiencing a single correction. Two distinct markets are operating under the same geographic label – one defined by scarcity, the other by oversupply – with the dividing line falling near the million-dollar mark. Below that ...
In a region often discussed in extremes – either “heating up” or “cooling off” – Palm Desert’s residential market is doing neither. The city leads the Coachella Valley in monthly home sales volume, carries roughly four months of inventory, and operates as a balanced market, according to Vlada March, Realtor and owner of Vlada March ...
The gap between what sells fast and what lingers in Southern California’s inland and coastal submarkets has less to do with location than most buyers assume. In the corridor stretching from Temecula and Murrieta through Fallbrook and down into Oceanside, Carlsbad, and Vista, the dividing line is increasingly about condition and price, not neighborhood prestige ...
Northeast Florida’s housing market carries a four-month supply of inventory, a figure that, by conventional standards, still favors sellers. But within that tight market, a divide is forming between resale properties and new construction that is forcing existing homeowners to rethink how they position a listing. The issue is not a lack of demand. Builders ...
From the outside, Naples registers as a single luxury market, wealthy cash buyers competing for beachfront property. That perception isn’t wrong, but it’s incomplete enough to cost buyers money. The metro contains at least four distinct sub-markets, each with different pricing dynamics, buyer profiles, and ownership cost structures. What works in a golf community purchase ...
The standard condo listing tells a buyer about square footage, amenities, and monthly fees. What it doesn’t tell them is when the elevator needs replacing, whether the reserve fund can cover it, or how much they’ll personally owe when the bill comes due. That information exists – buried in hundreds of pages of governing documents, ...
Canada’s housing shortage has generated no shortage of proposed solutions, and prefabricated mass timber construction is among the most frequently cited. The logic is appealing: use domestic timber resources, build panels in a controlled facility, ship them to site, and erect homes faster than traditional stick-frame methods allow. In British Columbia, where forestry infrastructure already ...
Early claims that 3D-printed construction would be 100 percent cheaper and 200 percent faster than conventional building went undelivered, eroding investor confidence. Now, with roughly 150 single-family homes completed in the United States and up to 300 more under construction across multiple communities, according to Boris Kozlov, Founder & CEO of AC3D (Automated Construction 3D), ...
The luxury vacation-home market along Florida’s 30A corridor is splitting into two distinct tiers. Newer, well-built homes in desirable communities are commanding strong prices and attracting buyers quickly. Older homes that need work are sitting. The divergence is reshaping how buyers, sellers, and agents approach a stretch of coastline where every purchase is discretionary. Richard ...
The narrative around residential real estate investors in 2026 is one of retreat. Higher rates, compressed margins, and fewer easy flips have thinned the ranks. But the pullback may say more about how investors were making decisions than about the actual availability of deals, and the distinction matters for anyone still active in the space. ...
For years, institutional real estate portfolios looked roughly the same: heavy allocations to office, industrial, and apartments, with modest exposure to everything else. That composition is now shifting in ways that reflect structural changes in how people live and work and a broader reassessment of what “real estate” means as an asset class. Capital is ...
The commercial real estate market in Greenville, South Carolina’s upstate region, is not frozen, but the velocity of transactions has slowed enough that a different kind of legal work is filling the pipeline. Rather than closing acquisitions and dispositions, local developers are focused on stabilizing their existing portfolios: getting buildings leased, generating cash flow, and ...
