Homeowners who purchased in Central Texas near the market’s mid-2022 peak are now sitting on roughly 20 percent less value than what they paid. That is not a rounding error; it is a meaningful loss on paper, and local brokers say many of these owners are effectively stuck. They cannot sell without bringing money to ...
The classic house-flip playbook – buy cheap, renovate fast, sell high – depends on a market where buyers are plentiful and willing to pay premiums for move-in-ready homes. In the Santa Clarita Valley right now, that condition does not exist. With buyer traffic thin and homes sitting longer than they have in years, some local ...
A growing number of Canadian homeowners over 55 are making a choice that would have seemed counterintuitive a generation ago: selling the family home and renting an apartment instead of buying a condo. For long-time homeowners who want flexibility and less maintenance, renting in a secondary market may now be the smarter financial and lifestyle ...
If you are an investor eyeing Miami real estate, the property tax reduction that Florida’s governor is pushing would not help you at all. And if you are a buyer planning to live in the home, it could lower your monthly costs while simultaneously driving up the price you pay to get in. Luxury market ...
New spec construction along Georgia’s 400 corridor is almost exclusively targeting tenants who need 50,000 square feet or more. The small industrial spaces that once let entrepreneurs move out of a garage and into their first commercial lease are not being replaced – even as demand for them persists. At the same time, lease rates ...
The Philadelphia suburbs have not experienced the wave of price reductions spreading through other U.S. markets in 2026 – but that does not mean transactions are closing without friction. The pressure points are specific: buyers who overbid without the cash to cover appraisal gaps, and sellers who refuse home inspections in a market that no ...
Most conversations about Los Angeles real estate center on unaffordable coastal markets and residents leaving the state entirely. But not every buyer priced out of metro LA is heading to Texas or Arizona. A steady share is driving north, to the Antelope Valley, where homes between $450,000 and $650,000 sell within weeks and inventory sits ...
National housing data suggests a cooling market, but Monmouth County, New Jersey contradicts that narrative. Inventory sits at 2.7 months of supply – roughly half the five-to-six-month threshold that would indicate balance – and prices continue to climb despite mortgage rates near 6.5%, according to Anastasia Cafiero, a Realtor with Realty ONE Group Central who ...
A mortgage rate is refinanceable. A purchase price is not. That asymmetry is the core argument agents in declining-price markets are making to buyers who have spent two years waiting for rates to drop – and it cuts against the logic that has kept many on the sidelines since 2024. According to Audrey Ethridge, Founder ...
Single-family homes in Palm Desert’s gated golf communities are holding value and selling quickly. Condominiums in the same communities are not. The split has less to do with location or club membership than with whether a unit has been renovated, and in a market where three-quarters of owners use their homes only four to five ...
The assumption that higher interest rates have frozen buyers out of the market doesn’t hold up everywhere. In the San Antonio and Texas Hill Country corridor, transactions are happening, but on terms that favor patience and precision over urgency. Prices are declining month over month, inventory is stacking up, and sellers who haven’t adjusted their ...
Private capital is moving into commercial real estate at a pace that outstrips the research infrastructure most of these investors have access to. Institutional buyers have long relied on proprietary data, dedicated analyst teams, and relationships built over decades to understand a market down to the block level. A newer wave of private investors and ...
The narrative around Seattle’s high-end real estate market has taken a particular shape in recent months: wealthy residents are leaving, the market is cooling, and the Pacific Northwest’s appeal is fading. On the ground, the picture depends on which price tier you’re watching. Below roughly $4 to $5 million, well-positioned homes still draw multiple offers, ...
Not every property type benefits equally from a tight housing market. In Bergen and Hudson Counties, two of the most supply-constrained corridors in the New York metro area, single-family homes and small multifamily buildings are drawing multiple offers and selling briskly. But condos and townhouses are falling behind, weighed down by a double cost squeeze ...
The Mississippi Gulf Coast housing market is not slow. It is split. Homes in good condition priced below $250,000 are still attracting multiple offers and selling within weeks. But properties priced above that threshold, particularly those where sellers are anchoring to pandemic-era valuations, are sitting for months. The agents working this market say the problem ...
