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 ...
If you own a vacation rental property on Florida’s 30A and manage it yourself from out of state, the regulatory environment in 2026 may be working against you more than you realize. Property managers operating in Walton County describe a compliance landscape designed to rein in bad actors, but one that functionally penalizes any owner ...
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 ...
Hawaii has almost no institutional experience with public-private partnerships. The state has completed, by one account, a single P3 in its history, a small apartment complex near the university. A planned P3 for a segment of Honolulu’s rail system was withdrawn during procurement. Now the state is attempting to execute what may be its most ...
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 ...
The accessory dwelling unit market has quietly moved from a niche housing concept to a more mainstream solution. Affordability pressures, an aging demographic, and a wave of supportive local policies are pushing more homeowners and investors to consider what a backyard structure can actually do for them. Peter Anadranistakis, Founder and CEO of OxygenHaus and ...
Few real estate markets in the Northeast tell a more layered story than Newburgh, New York. Situated on the Hudson River about 90 minutes north of Manhattan, this small city of roughly 30,000 people has spent decades navigating the consequences of mid-20th century urban planning decisions that left entire neighborhoods hollowed out. Today, it sits ...
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 assumption that family offices are locked down and careful with security – given how much capital they manage – does not hold up once you look past the largest operations. Smaller family offices, particularly those managing one to three portfolio companies, often lack the cybersecurity maturity that outsiders assume they have, according to Vijaya ...
The conventional wisdom says buying a home is always better than renting. Build equity, get the tax break, plant roots. But in the Houston metro area, at least one real estate professional working in residential development is making a different case, one backed by straightforward math that many would-be buyers haven’t run for themselves. The ...
In the cities east of San Francisco, the condition of a home at listing has become the clearest predictor of how quickly it sells. Renovated properties move within days. Older homes that need work linger far longer. The gap between these two speeds has widened even as buyer demand remains strong, creating a market where ...
In most resort markets, buyers assume that any property near a ski lift can generate rental income. In Summit County, Colorado, that assumption can cost them. A buyer can purchase a condo with a short-term rental license on one side of a street and find that a similar unit across the road is restricted to ...
