As uncertainty weighs on housing markets across the country, Houston is showing a familiar pattern: steady demand, selective buyers, and pockets of genuine competition in the right neighborhoods. For professionals working the market daily, the picture is more nuanced than national headlines suggest. Mary Giovinale, team leader at The Giovinale Team at Compass RE Texas, ...
Roughly 30 miles north of downtown Los Angeles, the Santa Clarita Valley sits at a useful intersection: close enough to the city to make commuting manageable, yet far enough removed to offer the kind of space, schools, and community infrastructure that urban neighborhoods rarely provide at comparable price points. For families priced out of LA ...
Commercial real estate development in the American West has entered a period of recalibration. After years of strong demand, rising construction costs, softening rents, and tighter equity markets have made new projects harder to justify. For developers who built their model around straightforward deals in favorable conditions, the current environment presents real challenges. For firms ...
The Central Texas housing market has gone through a significant reset since its 2022 peak, and for buyers willing to do their homework, that correction is creating real opportunity. Prices in Williamson County – which covers communities like Georgetown, Round Rock, Leander, and Cedar Park – have declined roughly 20% from their highs, while sales ...
The Mississippi Gulf Coast has long flown under the radar compared to its flashier neighbors in Florida and Alabama. But a steady stream of relocating families, retiring military personnel, and curious visitors passing through on the way to somewhere else has quietly built a real estate market worth paying attention to. For those willing to ...
The New York metropolitan area has long shaped real estate demand across northern New Jersey, but the dynamics playing out in Hudson and Bergen Counties right now reflect something more specific than simple proximity to the city. Tight inventory, steady rental demand, and a structural shortage of developable land are combining to create a market ...
After years of frenzied buying driven by pandemic-era migration, remote work flexibility, and limited inventory, Miami’s luxury real estate market is settling into a slower but more sustainable pace. Inventory has loosened, decision timelines have stretched, and buyers are doing more research before committing. For Monica S. Betancourt, Founder and Team Leader of the Monica ...
Buying a vacation rental property on Marco Island sounds straightforward: a resort island that swells from 17,000 year-round residents to more than 60,000 during peak season, with a steady stream of visitors who need somewhere to stay. The demand case is obvious. What’s less obvious, and what catches investors off guard, is that some of ...
US buyers shopping for a second home or investment property abroad have historically gravitated toward the familiar: a beach condo in Mexico, a pied-à-terre in Europe, a vacation property in the Caribbean. But brokers working in international new development sales are seeing demand land in less expected places, and Costa Rica’s luxury resort corridor is ...
Albany, New York does not show up on most national lists of hot real estate markets. It lacks the name recognition of Boston or the scale of New York City. But investors who have been priced out of those larger metros are increasingly looking at the Capital Region, and agents working the market say the ...
The Southwest Florida housing market is cooling. Inventory is up, prices have pulled back in parts of the region, and buyers are harder to qualify than they were two years ago. But the slowdown isn’t hitting every community the same way, and buyers and investors who treat the entire region as one market may be ...
The standard advice for first-time rental investors sounds sensible: start small, buy one property, get your footing, then grow. But some experienced investors and the agents who work with them argue that single-property ownership is actually the riskiest way to enter the rental market, not the safest. Shirley Weems, a Realtor with Waterman Real Estate, ...
Small investors eyeing the northern Indianapolis suburbs in 2026 are often looking for the wrong opportunity. The search for a quick flip, buy distressed, renovate, sell at a profit, runs into a market where prices are already strong and undervalued properties are scarce. What the data and experienced observers on the ground suggest is that ...
A three-day investment summit in Panama City revealed that American investors considering international real estate aren’t pursuing a single strategy. Multiple development approaches across different geographic zones and price points appeal to fundamentally different investor profiles – and all are finding traction simultaneously. The Invest Panama Summit (May 28-30, 2026) brought twelve investors from across ...
Investors evaluating secondary and tertiary Midwest markets for multifamily capital deployment tend to screen on population size first. By that measure, Sioux Falls, South Dakota, with a metro population of approximately 300,000, typically does not make the cut. What that screen misses is a market that has produced consistent rent growth for four decades, near-zero ...
