National housing data suggests a cooling market, but Monmouth County, New Jersey contradicts that narrative. Inventory sits at 2.7 months of supply – roughly half the five-to-six-month threshold that would indicate balance – and prices continue to climb despite mortgage rates near 6.5%, according to Anastasia Cafiero, a Realtor with Realty ONE Group Central who ...

The assumption that higher interest rates have frozen buyers out of the market doesn’t hold up everywhere. In the San Antonio and Texas Hill Country corridor, transactions are happening, but on terms that favor patience and precision over urgency.

The accessory dwelling unit market has quietly moved from a niche housing concept to a more mainstream solution. Affordability pressures, an aging demographic, and a wave of supportive local policies are pushing more homeowners and investors to consider what a backyard structure can actually do for them.
