Investors looking at upstate New York’s Catskill area as an alternative to the expensive downstate market are arriving with one set of assumptions and finding a different set of facts. The pitch makes sense on paper, lower prices, lower taxes, proximity to New York City. But agents working the market say the gap between what ...

Southwest Florida’s real estate market has spent three years recovering from back-to-back hurricanes while absorbing a wave of younger buyers and contending with a national narrative that often overstates the region’s struggles. For agents working the market daily, the picture is more nuanced – and in some pockets, considerably more encouraging than the broader story ...

Most people shopping for a home in Brooklyn watch one number above all others: the price per square foot. It shows up on every listing, it’s easy to compare, and it feels like a reliable way to judge value. But after 25 years of selling real estate across Brooklyn’s neighborhoods, Rudolph Saint Walker says that ...

The Tampa Bay region has long attracted buyers seeking Florida’s lifestyle at a more accessible price point than its better-known coastal neighbors. But in the communities stretching north and west of Tampa, places like Hudson, New Port Richey, Spring Hill, and Holiday, the post-pandemic correction has been sharper and more prolonged than headline numbers often ...

South Florida’s real estate market has never been easy to read from the outside. National headlines tend to paint it in broad strokes, either a pandemic boomtown or a market cooling under the weight of rising insurance costs and condo legislation. The reality on the ground is considerably more layered, shaped by building-level financial health, ...

The Manhattan and Brooklyn residential real estate markets have always operated by their own rules. With a property mix that is more than 80% co-ops and condominiums, a regulatory landscape unlike almost anywhere else in the country, and buyer behavior increasingly shaped by interest rate swings and economic uncertainty, these markets demand a level of ...

Owning a rental property in Miami sounds like a dream: warm weather, strong demand, and a city that keeps growing. For many investors, it has delivered. But property managers working in the market right now see something that doesn’t always make it into the sales pitch: the math has gotten tighter, and the surprises hit ...

If you’ve been eyeing Manhattan real estate and wondering whether now is a good time to buy, the answer depends almost entirely on where you’re looking. Some neighborhoods are moving fast, others are sitting quietly, and the gap between them is wider than it’s been in years. Susan Holman, a licensed associate real estate broker ...

If you picture the Jersey Shore as a seasonal beach market that quiets down after Labor Day, the reality on the ground no longer matches. A major entertainment studio is under construction, year-round residents are replacing seasonal vacationers, and home prices are climbing with limited inventory to absorb new demand. Joseph York, a Broker Associate ...

You find a beautiful condo two blocks from the beach. The price looks reasonable – actually, surprisingly reasonable given the location. Then you get the insurance quote. And the HOA statement. And the structural inspection report. Suddenly, that “deal” looks a lot more complicated. This is the reality for buyers in coastal Southwest Florida right ...

There is a version of South Florida oceanfront living that does not require a $6 million entry point or a two-year wait for a building to complete. It exists right now, in Deerfield Beach, in a boutique 44-residence building steps from the Atlantic. Most buyers chasing new construction in this corridor are walking past it. ...

South Florida’s real estate market spans three distinct counties, multiple buyer profiles, and a constant flow of domestic and international capital. For brokerages serving this region, the traditional model of specializing in either commercial or residential has increasingly become a limitation rather than a strength. That tension is what led Denice Landaeta, founder of the ...

Greater Boston has plenty of opportunity to build housing. What it doesn’t have is housing. A convergence of record construction costs, a state mandate forcing municipalities to rezone near transit, and deeply entrenched local resistance to density has exposed just how wide the gap can be between what the law permits and what the market ...

The cap rates, the insurance complications, the interest rate stalemate – Southern California real estate investors have spent the better part of three years navigating conditions that reward patience over action. Most experienced investors have adapted. What many haven’t fully reckoned with is a quieter liability: the banking relationship that looks adequate until the moment ...
