Most housing markets along the California coast have loosened over the past two years as interest rates climbed and buyer urgency faded. Santa Barbara’s south coast – stretching from Carpinteria through Goleta – has loosened too, but from a starting point so tight that the current inventory level still registers as a seller’s market. With ...

The national conversation about housing being “stuck” does not map neatly onto every local market. In Tahoe-Truckee, according to Christy Morrison, broker and owner of Home and Slate Real Estate, the divide is more specific: homes in strong locations that have been well maintained are moving, while properties that were overpriced at the start of ...

A common refrain among prospective homebuyers in Southern California is that they have been “priced out.” In San Diego County, that belief is often wrong – not because prices are low, but because assistance programs are far more generous, and far more broadly available, than most buyers realize.

Inventory in the South Bay beach cities of Los Angeles County is higher than it was a year ago, according to Susan Murphy, who has spent two decades running the Hoffman Murphy Real Estate Team out of Hermosa Beach, California.

The gap between Houston’s residential market and its coastal neighbor shows what happens when short-term rental speculation meets a correction. Harris County, Texas, currently has roughly six months of housing inventory – enough to classify it as a balanced-to-soft market where sellers need to price carefully and present homes in strong condition. 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.

For buyers waiting on the largest purchase of their lives, the appraisal process is one of the last black boxes in a home purchase.
