For the past several years, private equity has poured into HVAC, plumbing, and electrical businesses, pushing valuations higher and making the trades one of the most active corners of the lower middle market. That wave has not receded, but it has changed character. Buyers are still showing up, just not for every business that comes ...
The Chicago metropolitan area has spent the past two years doing something its coastal counterparts have not: appreciating. While markets in New York and Los Angeles have undergone price corrections, according to Sean Zhu of Frog City Realty LLC, housing values across the Chicago region have continued climbing, a dynamic pulling both relocating families and ...
Less than two months of housing supply across the far northwest suburbs of Chicago would normally suggest a seller’s market across the board. But the inventory shortage is masking a sharp divide: roughly a quarter of listings are absorbing nearly all buyer energy, while the rest accumulate days on market and price cuts. That split, ...
The conventional image of coworking expansion involves planting flags in as many cities as possible. For operators managing multiple flexible workspace locations across Florida, Texas, and Georgia, the math points in a different direction: density within a market matters more than breadth across markets. Kevin Priddy leads Priddy Spaces, a holding company operating 12 coworking ...
Builders in North Texas are offering interest rates near 4.9% and design-center credits worth $60,000 to $80,000, according to Heather Gill, a residential agent with eXp Realty who has worked the North Texas market for nearly a decade. For resale homeowners trying to sell in the same corridors, that competition is creating a pricing problem ...
In a county where the median age is 57 and a third of deals close in cash, property type now determines whether a sale closes in weeks or stalls for months. Single-family homes in Citrus County, Florida, are trading steadily, with prices ticking up a few percentage points year over year, according to Bruce Brunk, ...
Austin’s widely cited year-over-year price decline of roughly 20 percent aggregates dozens of submarkets with vastly different fundamentals, and the distortion may be costing investors who rely on metro-wide data to evaluate opportunities, according to Nitin Kumar, an agent with eXp Realty who was the brokerage’s top-producing agent nationally by homes sold last year. In ...
Renovated properties are sitting on the market longer in many parts of the country, and that alone is enough to break the math that made fix-and-flip investing work. When a rehabbed home used to sell in weeks, the model tolerated thin margins and short holding costs. When it sits for months instead, carrying costs erode ...
Philadelphia’s median sale price continues to inch up one to two percent annually across most zip codes, a statistic that suggests a stable, readable market. For investors entering the city’s fix-and-flip space, that number is misleading. According to Aziz Dali, a real estate investor and agent at Realty Mark Cityscape who has completed close to ...
Austin’s luxury real estate market has developed an unusual split. Properties priced above $5 million are attracting buyers and moving relatively quickly, while homes in the $1.5 million to $3 million range are taking longer to sell. That inversion, where the top of the market outpaces the tier just below it, reflects something specific about ...
The Tampa Bay housing market absorbed one of the country’s largest pandemic-era population surges. Prices climbed sharply as out-of-state buyers competed for limited inventory. Now the correction is underway, and it is not just pushing prices down. It is changing which properties sell, which neighborhoods hold value, and what buyers are willing to tolerate in ...
In most housing markets, rising mortgage rates hit the top of the price ladder hardest. In the East Bay suburbs east of San Francisco, the pattern has reversed. Homes priced above $3 million are moving faster than those below $2 million – a dynamic shaped by Silicon Valley wealth and a deep base of high-earning ...
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 ...
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 ...
