The Manhattan and Brooklyn residential real estate markets have always operated by their own rules. With a property mix that is more than 80% co-ops and condominiums, a regulatory landscape unlike almost anywhere else in the country, and buyer behavior increasingly shaped by interest rate swings and economic uncertainty, these markets demand a level of ...
Across American cities, the story of mixed-use development often follows a familiar arc: a developer unveils plans for a “vibrant, walkable destination,” ground-floor retail space gets designed into the project, and a few years after opening, those storefronts sit half-empty. The vision was compelling. The execution fell short. According to Ann Ehrhart, Founder and CEO ...
While much of the national real estate conversation centers on cooling demand, rising inventory, and buyer hesitation, one New Jersey lake community appears to be operating by a different set of rules. Lake Hopatcong, the state’s largest recreational lake, continues to draw consistent buyer interest despite elevated interest rates and broader economic uncertainty, and the ...
Situated between Tampa and Orlando, Polk County has long served as a quieter, more affordable alternative to Florida’s major metro markets. With a population of around 270,000 and a lifestyle anchored by lakes, warm weather, and genuine small-town character in communities like Bartow, the county has steadily attracted buyers priced out of its larger neighbors. ...
After years of strong demand and rising rents, a wave of new construction has changed the calculus for Miami property owners and managers. For those operating in the city’s luxury condo segment, the current environment calls for a more disciplined, hands-on approach than the relatively forgiving conditions of two or three years ago. Timothy Meyers, ...
South Florida’s real estate market spans three distinct counties, multiple buyer profiles, and a constant flow of domestic and international capital. For brokerages serving this region, the traditional model of specializing in either commercial or residential has increasingly become a limitation rather than a strength. That tension is what led Denice Landaeta, founder of the ...
Brooklyn’s residential market is caught in an unusual standstill. Properties that would have moved quickly two or three years ago are sitting for eight, nine, or even twelve months. Listings populate StreetEasy and Zillow with little movement, and the active buyers are largely waiting for one thing: interest rates to come down. For brokers working ...
Greater Boston has plenty of opportunity to build housing. What it doesn’t have is housing. A convergence of record construction costs, a state mandate forcing municipalities to rezone near transit, and deeply entrenched local resistance to density has exposed just how wide the gap can be between what the law permits and what the market ...
The cap rates, the insurance complications, the interest rate stalemate – Southern California real estate investors have spent the better part of three years navigating conditions that reward patience over action. Most experienced investors have adapted. What many haven’t fully reckoned with is a quieter liability: the banking relationship that looks adequate until the moment ...
The narrative around industrial real estate has been largely optimistic for several years – e-commerce tailwinds, supply chain reshoring, and strong tenant demand have kept the asset class near the top of most investors’ target lists. But as deal volume gradually recovers from a prolonged slowdown, the ground-level reality is more nuanced. Buyers are more ...
Miami’s evolution from a seasonal retreat into a year-round business hub is playing out in real time across its luxury real estate market. With 166 new luxury developments currently underway between West Palm Beach and Coral Gables, the volume of activity across South Florida is unlike anywhere else in the world. Rising corporate relocations, sustained ...
After years of intense competition and rapid price growth, the New Jersey housing market is cooling. Buyers are moving more cautiously, sellers are adjusting their strategies, and agents with deep local expertise are finding ways to stay ahead. In Union County’s Plainfield, that dynamic is playing out in ways that reflect both national headwinds and ...
San Diego has long been one of California’s most resilient real estate markets, and in mid-2026, that reputation holds. With fewer than three months of inventory across the broader market and interest rates hovering in the low sixes, the region continues to attract buyers despite persistent affordability pressures. But within this broader market story, a ...
Nearly five years after the pandemic-era migration wave reshaped South Florida real estate, the region’s market has settled into something far more complex than national coverage typically captures. Prices have normalized, inventory has grown in many segments, and buyers are negotiating again, but the picture varies dramatically depending on which county, neighborhood, or property type ...
Teacher turnover is one of the more persistent challenges facing urban school districts, and while the causes are complex, housing costs have emerged as a measurable driver. In Oakland, 63% of educators leaving the Oakland Unified School District cited the high cost of housing as a primary reason for departure. One organization has spent the ...
