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 That framing is outdated.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 ...
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), ...
