In most housing markets, a small shift in mortgage rates changes a monthly payment by a manageable amount. In Orange County, California, where typical purchase prices run well above a million dollars, that same quarter-point shift moves payments by hundreds of dollars a month. According to Jordan Bennett, team lead of Jordan Bennett & Associates ...
Orange County’s residential real estate market has held its value through cycles that punished other Sun Belt markets. But beneath that headline stability, a structural split is forming between single-family homes and condominiums, two segments that used to move in rough tandem. Well-priced single-family listings still draw multiple offers and sell above asking. Condos, meanwhile, ...

Most first-time buyers in the outskirts of Los Angeles County assume they should wait for mortgage rates to drop before purchasing. But if home prices keep climbing while they wait, the savings on interest get erased by a higher purchase price, and the higher principal balance stays for the life of the loan. Gabriella Godde, ...
The common narrative around Joshua Tree is that the market is drowning in vacation rentals, too many Airbnbs chasing too few guests. But in a market that still draws over three million visitors a year, the vacancy problem may have less to do with how many rentals exist and more to do with what owners ...
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. In most residential markets, those conditions would signal distress. In Palisades, they are attracting a specific kind of capital: investors buying single-family homes at a discount, renting them for ...

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. 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. The disconnect is straightforward: developers built expensive Class A apartments in markets ...
In most American markets, holding a property for ten or twelve years builds a cushion of equity. In Manhattan, that assumption no longer holds across large segments of the market, according to Nikolay Afanasyev, Founder & CEO of CITY SPHERE Property Group, a boutique brokerage covering Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. 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.
