South Florida’s real estate market has never been easy to read from the outside.

The reality on the ground is considerably more layered, shaped by building-level financial health, ...

Along the western shores of Essex County, New York, Lake Champlain’s waterfront communities – particularly Willsboro and Essex – are drawing a growing wave of buyers from New York City, Connecticut, Boston, and even Canada.

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 ...

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.

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.
