If you’re considering a beach house in South Jersey, the landscape has changed — just not in the way most expected. Over the past year, buyers have quietly shifted their attention away from traditional hotspots and toward neighborhoods that were rarely considered just 18 months ago. From Atlantic City to Ventnor, the region’s affordability map ...
Tim Kriebel doesn’t just see houses when he looks at new developments — he sees whether people will need to drive every time they want a gallon of milk. For him, that’s the key problem with most suburban development: it forces residents into their cars for nearly every daily need. Kriebel is the mayor of ...
The South Jersey shore real estate market is outpacing national trends, operating under conditions that set it apart from most residential sectors. While many U.S. markets slow under the weight of high interest rates and affordability concerns, this coastal region continues to see strong demand and rising prices, driven by dynamics specific to its status ...
The luxury coastal real estate market rarely tells a simple story, and for brokers operating across multiple geographies, the differences between markets can be just as instructive as the similarities.

A year ago, the biggest hurdle for a first-time buyer in northern New Jersey was getting an offer accepted. Today, the real breaking point has moved later in the process, to the home inspection. That shift hits first-time buyers harder than anyone else in the market. Augie Neno, Owner/Broker at Neno-Rosa Agency in Kearny, New ...
Annual home sales in Madison, New Jersey, have shifted from a consistent 180 to 190 transactions per year to roughly 120 to 130, according to local agent Scott Spelker. The driver, he explains, is not a passing cycle but a structural supply picture rooted in one simple reality – the area is largely built out, ...
Homeowners who secured pandemic-era mortgage rates have a clear reason to stay put: moving would add roughly $1 million in interest over the life of a 30-year loan. Proposed legislation to let borrowers carry those low rates to new properties has drawn congressional attention, and the financial mechanics of unwinding mortgage-backed securities will shape how ...
In most metro-adjacent housing markets, demand does not rise and fall evenly. It moves geographically, spreading outward from the employment center in a pattern that rewards close attention to where buyers are landing and where they are pulling back. In North Jersey, that pattern is playing out with unusual clarity right now, and the implications ...
Madison, New Jersey has an average home sale price of $1.6 million over the past six months – up 19 percent year over year, according to Marybeth Eckhardt, a partner at Boyd Eckhardt Partners. There are currently nine homes listed for sale in the borough, two of which are already in attorney review. That leaves ...
The towns wedged between Newark and Jersey City – Kearny, North Arlington, Harrison, Belleville, don’t generate the same national attention as their larger neighbors. But for buyers priced out of New York City and looking for a short commute via PATH train, bus, or turnpike, this cluster of communities has become a landing zone. The ...

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 ...
