With roughly 165 active projects across Miami-Dade and Broward County, buyers can afford to be choosy. Brandon Talalaevsky of Property Pro Partners argues that aggregate inventory numbers miss the real story: which projects meet today’s higher standards and which don’t. When headlines describe Miami’s condo market as slowing, they typically draw on metro-wide or county-level ...
The Silicon Valley luxury market is riding a wave of capital spending on AI infrastructure that even its biggest beneficiaries acknowledge looks overheated. John Young, co-founder of Young Platinum Group at Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty, has analyzed Palo Alto housing data across three major downturns over the past 28 years. His conclusion: while the ...
Real estate inventory data in New York’s Hudson Valley may be overstating how constrained the market actually is for buyers, according to Vicki Stent, a licensed real estate salesperson with Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty. Stent says that even during periods when headline inventory numbers pointed to shortage conditions, she was consistently finding suitable properties ...
When homes sit unsold for months in a market with rising inventory, the instinct is to blame interest rates or buyer hesitation. Michelle Chase, Team Leader at The Michelle Chase Team with Home Wise Realty Group, points to a different culprit: agents who take listings at prices they know are too high. Chase has spent ...
The idea that rising home prices benefit everyone in a housing market is getting harder to defend. What real estate professionals are seeing in markets like San Luis Obispo County tells a more complicated story, one where the same price appreciation that rewards longtime owners is systematically locking out everyone else. Hal Sweasey, broker and ...
Pasco County, Florida, has a reputation problem. For years, people who knew the Tampa Bay area thought of it as farmland, aging homes, and not much else. That picture is nearly a decade old, but it persists, and for buyers still acting on it, the gap between perception and reality is closing in ways that ...
A ballot measure arriving in November 2026 could do more to change Central Florida’s housing market than any interest rate move in recent memory. Real estate professionals in the region are watching it closely, and some argue that buyers who understand what is at stake will be better positioned than those who don’t. Lisa Foor, ...
Ask someone from Tampa or Clearwater about Pasco County, and the answer has historically been predictable: old, rural, farmland, nothing going on. According to Cory Byrd, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker F.I. Grey & Son Residential, Inc., who grew up in the Tampa-Clearwater area before relocating to Pasco, that perception was once grounded in reality ...
Sussex County, Delaware, is frequently cited as one of the most tax-friendly places to live in the United States. Property taxes are among the lowest in the nation, and the overall cost of living compares favorably to neighboring states like New Jersey and Maryland. Yet according to Dustin Parker, Founder and CEO of The Parker ...
Florida’s new condo inspection and reserve laws were supposed to make buyers more cautious. On the Sarasota barrier islands, they have done something more complicated: they have pushed prices down and flooded the market with inventory, but buyers who know how to navigate the new rules are finding deals that would have been impossible two ...
Landlords across New Jersey who have been collecting steady rent increases for years are about to face a new kind of competition, and it is not coming from other landlords. It is coming from state law. A wave of new apartment construction is hitting markets like Princeton and Mercer County, driven not by developer enthusiasm ...
The conventional explanation for why so few homes are for sale right now is that sellers are trapped by their mortgages. They locked in rates of 2.9 or 3 percent during the pandemic years, the story goes, and they refuse to trade those rates for today’s 6.5 percent. That explanation is not wrong, but real ...
Not every Boston suburb that rezoned for new apartments will actually get them. The towns that treated a recent state mandate as a genuine opportunity are already attracting developers. The ones that found ways to comply while limiting real change technically are likely to stay largely the same, and that distinction matters if you are ...
Buyers priced out of South Florida’s coastal markets are increasingly looking inland, and agents working rural Marion County say the migration is real and still building.
