If you’re thinking about listing your home in Fairfield or New Haven County, there’s a good chance you’ve already looked up an automated estimate of what your home might be worth. And there’s a good chance that number is now stuck in your head, for better or worse. According to Kristin Egmont, a Connecticut real ...
Buyers are not Connecticut’s housing problem. At the right price, in the right town, offers arrive fast and in quantity. What’s harder — and what separates successful transactions from failed ones — is everything that happens after the first showing. In a market defined by low inventory and high demand, there’s little tolerance for properties ...

If you’re considering Danbury, Connecticut, for buying, building, or investing, the landscape just became more favorable. The city has doubled the size of its downtown zone, streamlined its approval process, and eliminated public hearings for most projects. At the same time, Danbury is investing $20 million in new sidewalks and infrastructure. For buyers, sellers, and ...
Photo credit: Brian Wilcox There is a particular kind of place that works hard not to announce itself. No billboards on the approach. No velvet ropes. No social media moment engineered into the landscape. The Litchfield Hills, Hudson Valley, and Southern Berkshires are that kind of place, and for the buyers and visitors who find ...

Regional bank consolidation has been reshaping construction lending across the United States for the better part of two years. Still, its effects are playing out with particular intensity in New England. As larger institutions merge and tighten their balance sheets, developers across the region are increasingly turning to private credit providers to keep projects moving. ...
Along the coastline of southeastern Connecticut, a quiet but active corner of the commercial real estate market operates largely outside mainstream industry coverage. Working waterfronts – marinas, boat service centers, marine dealerships, and waterfront mixed-use properties – represent a distinct asset class with its own rules, risks, and buyer pool. For those who understand it, ...
Somewhere between real estate and aviation infrastructure lies a market that most investors have never considered. Aircraft hangars at business aviation airports represent a niche but growing asset class, and Sky Harbour Group Corporation is one of the few companies systematically developing it at scale. With 22 ground leases secured across the United States and ...
Across Connecticut’s residential market in mid-2026, a familiar tension persists: buyers want to move but are hesitant, sellers remain anchored to the peak bidding wars of 2021 and 2022, and the gap between those two realities continues to shape how deals get done. For agents working across the state’s varied geographies – from Fairfield County’s ...
Connecticut’s residential real estate market is deep into a stretch that would test even the most experienced practitioners. Inventory sits roughly 63% below pre-pandemic levels, buyer demand remains strong, and properties in desirable areas are drawing double-digit competing offers within days of listing. For boutique brokerages operating in this environment, the pressure is constant, and ...
About eight years into running his own brokerage, Daniel Berger has guided clients through multiple market cycles in Westchester County, New York and Fairfield County, Connecticut — low-rate frenzies, pandemic-era migrations, and the slower, more deliberate market that followed. As broker-owner of RE/MAX Prestige Properties, he personally closed 55 transactions totaling over $40 million in ...

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. 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 ...
