In most Texas housing markets right now, buyers have leverage they have not enjoyed in years. Inventory is up, prices are softening, and seller concessions – credits toward closing costs or interest-rate buydowns – have become a common negotiating tool. But in the luxury corridors west of Dallas, that playbook stops working above a certain ...

The pandemic-era self-storage construction boom created a distinctive opportunity in secondary and tertiary markets: a fresh supply of newer facilities whose performance depends closely on how well their scale aligns with the local population. According to Tom de Jong, Executive Vice President at Colliers, a pattern he has encountered repeatedly involves 100,000 square feet of ...

Most luxury submarkets in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex have felt the drag of elevated interest rates and longer days on market. Westlake, a small municipality west of Fort Worth where most homes sit on an acre or more, has not followed that pattern – and the reason has less to do with housing fundamentals than ...

The DFW suburbs have spent years absorbing population growth and new construction at a pace few metro areas can match. But in Burleson, a city in Johnson County about 20 minutes south of downtown Fort Worth, the market is splitting along a clear price line. Homes priced under $300,000 draw steady showing traffic, according to ...

When relocation buyers compare housing costs in the North Austin suburbs to what they paid in California, Seattle, or Houston, they typically focus on purchase price and mortgage payment. Many miss that Texas property taxes do not follow a single statewide rate. Rates vary between communities, driven in part by a financing tool called municipal ...

In parts of the northeast Dallas suburbs, listings are expiring faster than in neighboring areas. A listing expires when a home doesn’t sell before the seller’s contract with an agent ends.

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 ...
