Northeast Florida’s housing market carries a four-month supply of inventory, a figure that, by conventional standards, still favors sellers.

The issue is not a lack of demand. Builders ...
The narrative that Florida’s real estate market has simply “cooled off” from its pandemic-era peak doesn’t capture what’s happening across Northeast and Central Florida. The reality is more specific: a market sorting itself into distinct pockets, where pricing strategy, local knowledge, and buyer selectivity determine which properties move and which sit. Rising inventory, more cautious ...
If you own an older home in the Jacksonville or St. Augustine area and are thinking about a major renovation – expanding for a growing family, adapting for aging in place, or updating a property built decades ago – you may find the process takes longer than expected. One reason has nothing to do with ...
Northeast Florida has spent much of the past decade absorbing population growth, tourism pressure, and an aging building stock that increasingly needs attention. For smaller design firms operating in this environment, the challenge is less about chasing volume and more about finding the right clients at the right time.

When buyers relocate to a metro area where they have no local ties, the usual priorities – square footage, lot size, finishes – often take a back seat to something harder to measure: a built-in social life. In the suburbs east and south of Tampa, communities with shared amenities like pools, splash pads, and lakefront ...
In a county where the median age is 57 and a third of deals close in cash, property type now determines whether a sale closes in weeks or stalls for months. Single-family homes in Citrus County, Florida, are trading steadily, with prices ticking up a few percentage points year over year, according to Bruce Brunk, ...
The Tampa Bay housing market absorbed one of the country’s largest pandemic-era population surges. Prices climbed sharply as out-of-state buyers competed for limited inventory. Now the correction is underway, and it is not just pushing prices down. It is changing which properties sell, which neighborhoods hold value, and what buyers are willing to tolerate in ...
A real estate market where sales, prices, and shrinking inventory all point upward should be one where homes sell faster. In the Florida Keys, the opposite is happening. Through the first eight months of 2026, sales across every Keys submarket are up 11% year over year, according to Lisa Ferringo, who leads the Lisa Ferringo ...
While luxury condos and Class A multifamily properties dominate Miami’s real estate headlines, a different investment strategy is generating stronger returns for investors in the region. Lawrence Resnick is a Realtor at The Paz Group who focuses on commercial and multifamily transactions across Miami-Dade and Broward County. He says the properties producing the best yields ...

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 ...
