Buyers relocating to Pittsburgh from San Francisco, Austin, or New York tend to arrive with a mental picture of urban condo living that does not match what the city actually offers, and that mismatch, according to Racheallee Lacek of the Lacek Group at Piatt Sotheby’s International Realty, is the single biggest source of friction in ...
Kootenai County’s housing market splits cleanly by price, and the split reveals something less obvious than typical supply-and-demand math: the fastest-moving homes and the slowest-moving homes are being shaped by two entirely different sets of buyers. Cody Fenske, who leads Apex Realty Partners with EXP Realty in Kootenai County, works primarily with out-of-state buyers and ...

Tracy, California, has built its housing market on a simple bargain: drive an hour to a Bay Area job, get twice the house for half the price. But that bargain is under pressure. Interest rates have climbed, the broader economy has softened, and the rising cost of gasoline and diesel has made long commutes harder ...
Buyers evaluate a home based on what exists right now – the school down the road, the fire station response time, the condition of the nearest interchange. But in fast-growing small counties, what the local government is building today may matter more to long-term property values than anything visible on a drive-through. In New Kent ...
In a city where home values climbed sharply during the pandemic, some Austin agents are now telling sellers to stay off the market. The advice runs against the industry’s transactional incentives, but the logic is direct: in several Austin price ranges, the buyer pool has thinned enough that listing now risks closing below purchase price. ...

That gap between actual cash flow and qualifying income is pushing business owners in the Chicago area out of the mortgage market entirely – not because they lack the money, but because ...
