The homes moving quickest in Houston right now are not the ones buyers pin to their vision boards. They are modest starter properties: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, located in the suburbs. Larger, more expensive homes are sitting longer. For first-time buyers holding out for the house they actually want to live in long term, that ...
A family calls a real estate agent looking to lease a property. They have strong credit scores, clean tax records, and enough cash to cover a double security deposit plus first month’s rent, roughly $8,000. What they don’t have is any idea they could buy a home instead. That scenario, described by Gisselle Maldonado, a ...
Most people shopping for a home start with a mortgage calculator. They plug in a price, a down payment, and an interest rate, and out comes a monthly payment. In Texas, that number is often wrong, sometimes by hundreds of dollars a month, and buyers don’t find out until they’re already deep into a transaction. ...
When a home sits on the market for months, the instinct is almost always the same: cut the price. In San Antonio right now, where inventory is high and buyers have leverage, that instinct is costing sellers money. Many stale listings were never priced wrong in the first place, according to Janet Wingrove, team lead ...
Original reporting from other Texas markets on the KeyCrew network.
In central Collin County, Texas, homes priced between $1.3 million and $1.6 million sold briskly during the 2020–2022 run-up. Now they linger on the market. The reason is not poor condition or weak marketing. The buyer who once dominated that price band has disappeared from both directions. When the Middle Disappears According to Sean Elliott, ...
Investor-renovated homes near downtown San Antonio are sitting unsold for months. The problem isn’t poor renovations or bad pricing. Too many investors targeted the same neighborhoods at the same time. According to Janet Wingrove, team lead and co-founder of Empire Real Estate Team at Keller Williams Heritage, areas that once looked like strong gentrification opportunities ...
Houston’s median sales price ranges from $324,000 to $342,000. These figures suggest a stable, affordable market compared to Austin, Dallas, or coastal metros. But according to Pedro Iznaga, Senior Agent at Redfin Corporation, those numbers hide a more complicated picture. The market doesn’t behave as one entity. It behaves as dozens of distinct micro-markets, each ...
When insurance premiums double and the budget is already tight, some homeowners make a choice that would alarm any financial planner: they cancel their coverage and hope nothing goes wrong before the house sells. That is happening in parts of North Houston, according to Roze Swartz, a Redfin agent with 10 years of experience and ...
Builders in the North Dallas suburbs have enough standing inventory – and enough willingness to discount – that they are effectively setting the terms for the entire housing market. Resale sellers who price correctly and maintain their homes well are still finding that properties sit, not because of any flaw in the home, but because ...
Across the outer suburbs of Dallas-Fort Worth, new-construction builders are offering mortgage rates that start around five percent – well below what most buyers can get on the open market. The catch is that those homes sit in outlying communities where the drive to work, shopping, and services is significantly longer. For first-time buyers already ...
Editor-picked local real estate reporting from markets across the KeyCrew Media network.
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 ...
