Across California, state housing mandates and local planning priorities are increasingly at odds. Few places illustrate that tension as clearly as San Diego’s Point Loma Peninsula, where a 67,000-resident community is caught between developer ambitions, state density requirements, and infrastructure largely built during World War II. Two major projects could add tens of thousands of ...

The commercial real estate conversation around Austin often centers on tech campuses and mixed-use megaprojects, but the thousands of small and mid-sized businesses forming the backbone of the local economy are facing a far different reality. Higher interest rates, tighter lending standards, and climbing construction costs have converged to squeeze a segment of the market ...

The Minneapolis-Saint Paul housing market is telling a different story from the rest of the country. While affordability concerns and economic uncertainty dominate national headlines, the Twin Cities have maintained a degree of balance that many comparable metros have lost. The region’s geographic compactness, wide range of price points, and relatively stable inventory have helped ...

Everyone assumes the most desirable, move-in-ready homes in Florida are flying off the market. And sometimes they are. But a quieter pattern is emerging — one where dated, overlooked, and inherited properties are finding buyers faster than many polished listings, and where sellers who expected top dollar are watching their homes sit for months. Rising ...

There’s a reason real estate investors keep running into the same problem in Rockland County, New York: there’s almost nothing left to buy at a bargain. The county is small, nearly fully developed, and packed with buyers who want to live there, not flip it. That dynamic has created one of the most persistently competitive ...

If your investment portfolio is mostly stocks right now, you’ve probably been feeling pretty good lately. Markets have been hitting new records. But some experienced investors are quietly asking a different question: Is this the moment to take some chips off the table and move into real estate? It’s a question worth sitting with — ...

Most people who move to Miami have never heard of Key Biscayne. That’s not an exaggeration — it’s something Ximena Ulloa, a realtor with the Giulietta Ulloa Group at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty, hears constantly from buyers relocating from New York, Chicago, and California. They come in asking for something close to the beach, ...

After nearly a decade of sharp price growth and intense competition, the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Triangle is settling into something that feels increasingly unfamiliar to agents who started their careers in the post-pandemic market: normalcy. Inventory is rising, buyers are taking their time, and sellers are learning that presentation matters again. The cooling follows a national ...

The off-market real estate space is often portrayed as a straightforward exchange: a distressed seller trades a discount for speed and certainty. But the reality on the ground in Maryland looks considerably more complicated. For investors working directly with homeowners, the bigger challenge isn’t finding motivated sellers – it’s managing the gap between what sellers ...

Steamboat Springs, Colorado, has long stood apart from the glitzy resort towns of the American West, built on ranching culture, reliable snowfall, and a fiercely loyal community that valued authenticity over excess. But that identity is now under siege. A staggering $1.6 billion in luxury development is flooding the town with five-star hotel brands, $15 ...

The Jersey Shore has always attracted buyers trading city density for ocean air, but something more structural is reshaping the Monmouth County coastline. A convergence of major institutional arrivals, accelerating new construction, and persistently thin inventory is transforming what was already a competitive waterfront market into one commanding serious attention from investors and second-home buyers ...
