Houston’s reputation as an affordable alternative to coastal metros has drawn steady relocation traffic for years. But buyers treating the region as a single market, scanning listings across zip codes as though pricing logic transfers cleanly from one neighborhood to the next, are making decisions without the granularity the city demands. The same house on ...

Twice in two years, Austin’s residential real estate market has built momentum toward recovery – and twice, external economic disruptions have stalled it. The pattern points to a market not in decline but in a holding pattern shaped more by geopolitical uncertainty than by local fundamentals, according to Brooke Roeder, Principal of the Roeder Group ...

Inventory in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex has been building for months, and homes are sitting far longer than many sellers anticipated. Average days on market in some parts of Dallas proper have stretched to around five months, according to brokers working the area. Yet buyer activity remains muted, held back by interest rate sensitivity, indecision, ...

Austin’s residential real estate market has long been associated with tech-driven demand. But in 2026, the buyer pool powering the city’s housing activity looks different than it did even two years ago, according to Shivraj Grewal, founder of Grewal RE Group. The tech workers who flooded in during the pandemic-era boom – many on H1B ...

Two homes listed at $400,000 in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro can carry noticeably different monthly mortgage payments, depending on the county or school district. The gap has nothing to do with the loan or the lender. It comes down to property taxes. Buyers who ignore that line item may misjudge what they can afford. Kristyn ...

In the suburbs north of Austin, Texas, builders are cutting prices so aggressively that some signed contracts are falling apart. Affordability and high interest rates still play a role. But Ahmad Homidi, a real estate agent with eXp Realty, says the pattern he is seeing right now is different. Buyers back out after a competing ...

In a market where inventory has loosened and sellers are offering concessions, the expected result would be more transactions. In parts of North Texas, the opposite is happening. Qualified buyers are browsing for months, viewing dozens of homes, and declining to commit, not because they can’t find something, but because they can’t stop wondering whether ...

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 ...
