The narrative around South Florida real estate has grown increasingly complicated in recent years. Headlines swing between stories of pandemic-era price surges and more recent warnings of a cooling market. For agents working across Miami-Dade and Broward counties, the reality is more nuanced than either storyline suggests, and the timing matters. With new condo regulations ...
Few real estate professionals have the vantage point that comes from navigating a market through multiple complete cycles. Janice Mason, a Luxury Real Estate Advisor with Coastal Properties Group and Forbes Global Properties, has been active in Tampa Bay real estate since 1991. Her perspective spans the pre-Internet era, the 2008 housing collapse, the pandemic ...
The narrative around South Florida real estate has long been one of relentless demand and perpetual sunshine. But in Pembroke Pines, the picture is more layered – particularly within the 55-plus communities that have quietly defined this corner of Broward County for decades. Rising insurance costs, new state mandates requiring structural inspections and fully funded ...
Southwest Florida’s real estate market has spent three years recovering from back-to-back hurricanes while absorbing a wave of younger buyers and contending with a national narrative that often overstates the region’s struggles. For agents working the market daily, the picture is more nuanced – and in some pockets, considerably more encouraging than the broader story ...
The Delaware coastal real estate market has always operated differently from the rest of the country. Tucked between major Mid-Atlantic metros, Sussex County draws a steady stream of retirees and second-home buyers from New York, New Jersey, and the DC corridor, making it less dependent on local economic cycles than most markets of its size. ...
The Tampa Bay region has long attracted buyers seeking Florida’s lifestyle at a more accessible price point than its better-known coastal neighbors. But in the communities stretching north and west of Tampa, places like Hudson, New Port Richey, Spring Hill, and Holiday, the post-pandemic correction has been sharper and more prolonged than headline numbers often ...
The Canadian housing market often gets discussed as a single entity, but conditions on the ground vary widely. While headlines focus on supply shortages and affordability pressures in Toronto and Vancouver, New Brunswick is charting a different course – one that is moving from seller-dominated conditions toward something more balanced and, in some ways, more ...
South Florida’s real estate market has never been easy to read from the outside. National headlines tend to paint it in broad strokes, either a pandemic boomtown or a market cooling under the weight of rising insurance costs and condo legislation. 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.

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.
