Homeowners across San Antonio and much of Texas are discovering that what worked two years ago no longer applies. Inventory in the metro has climbed sharply, new listings have surged, active supply has pushed past 10,000 in Bexar County, and homes are sitting well beyond the pace sellers grew used to during the post-pandemic run-up. ...
Philadelphia’s residential market has long been known for its relative price stability, modest gains in good years, modest declines in bad ones. But that evenness is masking a widening gap between two buyer pools operating under very different conditions. Homes priced between $700,000 and above a million dollars are moving faster than properties in the ...
In most American markets, holding a property for ten or twelve years builds a cushion of equity. In Manhattan, that assumption no longer holds across large segments of the market, according to Nikolay Afanasyev, Founder & CEO of CITY SPHERE Property Group, a boutique brokerage covering Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. Rising building carrying costs, ...
For most of the past decade, buyers in New York City’s outer boroughs focused first on finding a home they could afford, then figured out how to pay for it. In Queens, that sequence is reversing, according to Jonathan Ettricks, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Laffey International Realty who works across Queens, Brooklyn, the ...
When average home prices dip in a county-level report, the natural instinct is alarm. Your home is losing value. The market is softening. But in Collin County, Texas – one of the fastest-growing counties in North Texas – the headline numbers are telling a misleading story, according to one team that has been working the ...
In northern Bergen County, New Jersey, two nearly identical homes on the same street can sell months apart – one in a bidding war within a week, the other lingering with price reductions. The difference is not location, lot size, or school district. It is whether the kitchen has been updated and the bathrooms look ...
A growing acquisition strategy among small real estate investors in Texas involves taking over someone else’s mortgage payment without ever assuming the loan itself. It is called a “subject-to” purchase, and insurance professionals who work with these investors say the financial exposure on both sides – for the original homeowner and the new investor – ...
In Tennessee’s fastest-growing county, the gap between what people earn and what homes cost has widened so far that one local official calls it a direct threat to generational wealth. Median family income in Rutherford County has risen 71 percent since 2005. Over the same period, median home prices have risen 213 percent. The math ...
For years, the national conversation about real estate migration has centered on Sun Belt destinations. A different pattern is forming in western Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh’s combination of affordable housing, healthcare employment, and a growing tech sector is pulling buyers from states like Utah, Nevada, and California, not as a temporary relocation trend, but as a deliberate ...
Chicago’s south suburban housing market presents an unusual tension: demand remains steady, appreciation runs between 3 and 5 percent annually, and inventory stays tight across price points. Yet within that same market, a growing number of homeowners are being forced to sell, not because values have dropped, but because property tax increases have made their ...
San Antonio’s housing market has tilted firmly in favor of buyers. Homes are taking several months to sell, concession requests are standard, and builders are offering discounts as high as $40,000 to clear inventory. But the properties lingering longest aren’t necessarily overpriced. In many cases, the problem is simpler and more fixable than sellers expect: ...
The north Dallas suburbs have long attracted affluent families willing to pay a premium for large lots, top-rated schools, and proximity to a major metro. But in the communities of Fairview, Lucas, and Parker, a cluster of towns in central Collin County, Texas, a gap in buyer behavior is creating a soft spot in the ...
For the past several years, Chicago’s South Side dominated new construction activity in the city’s multi-unit investment market. That momentum is now shifting west, and the catalyst is a single infrastructure project large enough to redirect capital flows across the city. The 1901 Project, a multi-year, $7 billion development planned around the United Center on ...
The New Jersey housing market looks red-hot or cooling fast depending entirely on which slice you’re looking at – and sellers who confuse one segment’s strength for their own risk a costly mispricing. Along the coast in mid-2026, the gap between the luxury second-home market and the broader residential market serving primary-residence buyers is widening ...
Mortgage rates above six percent have buyers waiting on the sideline, but the wait itself may be the most expensive decision they make. According to Marty Medve, Co-Owner & Principal Broker at Trident Home Loans, the pattern has repeated across three rate cycles over 25 years: when rates drop even modestly, pent-up demand floods the ...
