The Phoenix metro area has earned a reputation for softness in 2026, but individual submarkets tell a different story. In the East Valley, spanning Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Queen Creek, and San Tan Valley, the constraint is not a lack of buyers. It is a pricing standoff between sellers anchored to 2021-era expectations and buyers squeezed ...
Central New York’s housing market is being reshaped by a single infrastructure project. The Micron chip fabrication facility under construction in Onondaga County has tightened inventory so severely that buyers are pushing 20 miles or more into surrounding counties to find available homes, creating a ripple effect that has doubled rents in some areas over ...
A single rental property reclassified from residential to commercial in Tennessee does not just change a label on a tax roll; it triggers a 60% increase in the property tax assessment. In Rutherford County, the state’s fastest-growing county with nearly 400,000 residents and $81 billion in assessed real estate, that reclassification is now being imposed ...
Los Angeles multifamily investors are sitting on the sidelines in large numbers, frustrated by local politics and rising operating costs. But the same regulatory environment discouraging existing owners is creating a specific kind of opportunity, one that hinges not on what a building produces today, but on what can be added to it. The shift ...
Over $112 billion has flowed into Opportunity Zones since the program’s creation, yet participation remains a fraction of what the program allows. Now that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act has made Opportunity Zones permanent, the gap between available capital and actual deployment raises a practical question: what is keeping developers and investors on the ...
In most major U.S. metros, luxury residential prices have either recovered from pandemic-era disruptions or pushed past their 2019 peaks. In downtown Chicago, several of the city’s most invested-in neighborhoods, Gold Coast, Streeterville, Magnificent Mile, and parts of River North, remain flat to down over the past five years. That gap between Chicago’s trajectory and ...
The youth sports tourism industry has grown large enough to anchor entire mixed-use developments, not just stadiums or standalone facilities, but full districts of hotels, retail, restaurants, and multifamily housing built around tournament-capable venues. In Lebanon, Ohio, a development group is betting that a field sports facility focused on soccer and lacrosse can serve as ...
A property that sits on the market too long in the Chicago suburbs doesn’t just lose momentum; it loses credibility with buyers. Listings that expire without a sale carry a stigma, and relisting at the same or higher price rarely solves the underlying problem. But agents working the Berwyn corridor and surrounding towns are finding ...
The pandemic-era suburban boom that pushed buyers into the far reaches of the Dallas-Fort Worth metro is unwinding. Properties in outer markets are struggling to attract buyers while demand reconcentrates closer to established urban nodes, according to Yaron Yashar, a Realtor at Fathom Realty who works primarily in the north DFW corridor. For investors who ...
Markets that experienced extreme pandemic-era appreciation are not snapping back to equilibrium. In Montgomery County, Texas, the reset is structural, slow-moving, and widely misunderstood by investors expecting a quick rebound. The Scale of the Problem When real estate markets began softening in 2023, many observers framed it as a temporary cooling period before the next ...
The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex added over a million residents in the last decade, more than any other metro area in the United States, according to Yaron Yashar, a Realtor with Fathom Realty who leads the Dallas Homes Group. But population growth alone has not insulated the housing market from inventory buildup. In August 2026, DFW ...
When investors evaluate an industrial property, they typically see one rent figure attached to one building. The yard – the paved or unpaved land surrounding that building – gets bundled into the deal as though it were incidental. At firms specializing in industrial outdoor storage, analysts argue this is a mispricing. The land itself generates ...
Some sellers in the Chattanooga metro are still anchoring their expectations to peak post-pandemic pricing, while today’s buyers have grown far more disciplined and value-conscious. The result is a market where correctly priced homes still move, but overpriced listings accumulate days on market until sellers accept a reality they could have acknowledged from the start. ...
When property taxes rise sharply in a market where rents cannot keep pace, landlords do not simply absorb the cost. They sell. In Montgomery County, Texas, that pattern is accelerating. It is creating a ripple effect: renters are displaced, the market floods with additional inventory, and buyers gain leverage. Maria Borrego, a Realtor with 20 ...
The Washington, D.C. metro housing market has long benefited from a structural floor most American cities lack: a permanent federal employment base, a growing tech sector, and a steady pipeline of military and government-adjacent relocations. But that stability hasn’t insulated the region from a growing tension between what sellers believe their homes are worth and ...
