Homes in the Ozarks region used to sell in under 20 days. Average days on market have now climbed to roughly 90, a shift that arrived within the past 30 to 45 days and is reshaping how both buyers and investors deploy capital across the state, according to Rachel Countryman, a real estate professional with ...
The industrial real estate market across the western United States has absorbed a wave of post-pandemic construction, but not evenly. Large-format warehouses and distribution buildings drove both headline capital flows and elevated vacancy in markets from Seattle to Phoenix. One segment, however, has been largely absent from the construction pipeline: small and mid-bay multi-tenant industrial ...
For the first time in roughly five years, some homes in the western suburbs of Chicago are sitting on the market for more than a couple of weeks. In a region where single-family inventory stands at about a month and a half of supply, a quarter of the six months typically considered a balanced market, ...
In the Dallas-Fort Worth residential market, buyers who have been priced out of new construction over the past 12 to 24 months are now shopping at lower price points, but arriving with the same expectations for quality and finish. The result, according to Cisco Gonzalez, Team Founder and Listing Agent at Maverick Real Estate Group ...
The south suburbs of Chicago offer some of the most affordable housing in the broader metro area. But that affordability comes with an asterisk: property taxes high enough to reshape buying decisions, push investors toward the exits, and force first-time buyers into a narrower set of viable neighborhoods than listing prices alone would suggest. That ...
In most Texas metros, the conversation about housing affordability centers on rising prices. In San Antonio, the pressure is coming from a different direction: pre-owned homes are sitting unsold while builders undercut them on price, financing, and condition, according to Katie Powers, a team lead and broker with the Lifestyles of San Antonio team. The ...
Seattle has spent the past several years trying to make it easier to build an accessory dwelling unit. The city’s ADUniverse library of pre-approved backyard-cottage plans can cut permit review time to as little as two to six weeks, down from several months for a fully custom design, and the city has continued loosening zoning ...
For years, the mortgage industry’s affordability conversation has centered on one variable: interest rates. When rates fall, more buyers qualify. When they rise, the pool shrinks. That framework is increasingly incomplete. Rising insurance costs and elevated consumer debt loads, built up over several years of a difficult borrowing and cost-of-living environment, are creating qualification barriers ...
For two weeks earlier this year, 30-year mortgage rates dipped below 6% in the South Bay of Los Angeles. Multiple offers materialized on properties that otherwise would have sat, and homes sold for $50,000 to $100,000 over list price. Then geopolitical conflict pushed oil prices and rates back up, and the market cooled just as ...
For years, lakefront real estate around Anderson, South Carolina ran on a straightforward formula: limited shoreline, steady inbound migration, and prices that moved in one direction. That formula has fractured. Persistent drought, a federal infrastructure decision that will keep Lake Hartwell’s water levels suppressed for up to a decade, and a glut of new construction ...
Homeowners renovating in London still default to a simple metric: square footage added, value gained. But that shorthand is increasingly unreliable. Analysis of London property values shows the amount a given square meter is worth varies sharply across the city, meaning a flat per-square-foot formula fails as soon as it’s applied to a specific street ...
Six months ago, homes in and around Jamestown, New York were moving fast regardless of price. That’s no longer the case. A clear divide has emerged: properties listed under $150,000 are still attracting quick offers, while homes above that threshold, including rural listings with acreage that would have sold rapidly earlier this year, are sitting ...
The Dallas-Fort Worth housing market is sorting transactions along a single axis: pricing accuracy. Properties listed at market value are moving in under two weeks across a wide range of price points, according to Katherine Hubbard, broker at DFW 1% Listings LLC. Properties listed above market value, often by sellers still anchored to the conditions ...
The Austin housing market spent years as one of the hottest in the country. Now sellers accustomed to fielding dozens of offers are adjusting to a market where buyers have leverage and new construction is setting the terms. According to Laura Ivy Blessing, who leads the Blessed Life Group in Austin and has more than ...
North Carolina’s Research Triangle has ranked among the country’s top relocation destinations for decades, but growth pushing northward into Franklin County, now the second-fastest-growing of the state’s 100 counties, is reshaping the luxury housing market in this part of the state. The buyers arriving are not shopping for production homes in master-planned communities. They are ...
