Western North Carolina’s commercial real estate market has always operated by its own rules. Tucked into the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville has historically defied national trends, maintaining strong demand and low vacancy even when larger metros struggled. But since Hurricane Helene struck on September 27, 2024, the market has entered a period of recalibration that ...

The spare bedroom used to become a nursery, a home office, or a guest room. Increasingly, it’s becoming a podcast studio or a video set, a shift that reflects how content creation has moved from side hustle to income stream for a growing number of homeowners.

The land investment space has long been dominated by two extremes: speculative holds on raw acreage and full-scale horizontal development with entitlements, infrastructure, and vertical construction. Between those poles sits a less visible model, buying large rural tracts, subdividing them under existing by-right zoning provisions, and selling smaller parcels to retail buyers who want to ...

Buying a single-family rental in a fast-growing Sun Belt city usually starts with job growth, population trends, and neighborhood quality. What many investors skip entirely is the one factor that can erase all of those advantages: how many new apartments are being built nearby. The argument sounds counterintuitive. You are buying a house, not a ...

Charlotte’s short-term rental market has become noticeably more competitive over the past few years. What was once a relatively open field for casual investors now demands operational discipline, smart pricing, and differentiated properties, qualities that increasingly separate operators who thrive from those who quietly exit. Few people have watched this more closely than Teri Trifiletti, ...

After years of clear seller’s and buyer’s markets, Charlotte’s residential real estate market has become harder to read. Some homes sell within hours. Others sit for months. The difference often comes down to the individual property rather than broader market conditions. This marks a departure from the predictable patterns that defined the market through the ...

After nearly a decade of sharp price growth and intense competition, the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Triangle is settling into something that feels increasingly unfamiliar to agents who started their careers in the post-pandemic market: normalcy.

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 ...
