The most common misconception among first-time homebuyers has not changed much over the years: they believe they need a large down payment and excellent credit to qualify for a mortgage. In parts of Los Angeles County where median home prices sit around $500,000, that belief keeps would-be buyers on the sidelines, paying rent while assuming ...

Most residential real estate markets are driven by people who need a place to live. California’s high desert, the stretch of communities surrounding Joshua Tree National Park, from Palm Springs southwest of the Morongo Valley, Yucca Valley, and Twentynine Palms, operates on a different ratio. Roughly 75 percent of buyers in this market are purchasing ...

When people talk about what is holding back the luxury housing market in Los Angeles, they tend to focus on interest rates and economic uncertainty. Adam Brawer, a residential agent focused on the west side of Los Angeles, points to a different factor: a local transfer tax that has compounded the rate-lock problem for sellers ...

Thousands of homes burned in Pacific Palisades. The neighborhood is mid-rebuild, partially a ghost town, and priced roughly 20% below where it stood before the fire.

Spokane’s residential market has settled into a pattern that rewards discipline and punishes nostalgia. Sellers who list based on what they remember from a few years ago – when homes drew multiple offers within days – are finding that the market has moved on without them, according to Kim Hagel-Barkley of The Barkley Group in ...

The gap between Houston’s residential market and its coastal neighbor shows what happens when short-term rental speculation meets a correction.

But the sharper ...

The U.S. rental market built aggressively during the pandemic era, particularly in Sunbelt cities like Nashville, Austin, and Dallas. Now much of that new inventory, especially high-end apartments, is sitting partially empty, competing for renters whose budgets have tightened considerably since construction began. The disconnect is straightforward: developers built expensive Class A apartments in markets ...

Rising building carrying costs, ...

For buyers waiting on the largest purchase of their lives, the appraisal process is one of the last black boxes in a home purchase. Turnaround time isn’t a single number; it’s the sum of scheduling, inspection, report production, quality review, and any revision cycles that follow, and thin appraiser panels and uncontrolled revision cycles are ...
