For six years, Rochester’s residential real estate market operated under a simple rule: list it, and it sells. Property values climbed roughly 75 to 80 percent since the pandemic began, inventory shrank by half, and homes routinely drew multiple offers within days. That era is ending, not with a crash, but with a split. Homes ...
Inventory remains tight across much of New York’s Capital Region and surrounding counties. Still, the frantic pace that defined 2020 and 2021 has given way to something more measured, according to Heather Etzel, a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson with Four Seasons Sotheby’s International Realty. Buyers are no longer waiving inspections or bidding blindly against themselves. ...
The Hudson Valley real estate market isn’t short on demand. It’s short on sellers willing to move. In Dutchess County and the surrounding area, roughly halfway between New York City and Albany, homeowners who locked in mortgage rates of 2% to 3% five or six years ago are staying put, even when their families outgrow ...
Two years ago, Manhattan’s office market carried vacancy rates around 25 percent, a figure that reflected years of pandemic-era uncertainty and leasing volume that had cratered from a healthy annual pace of 40 million square feet to single digits. Today, according to Bert Rosenblatt, Managing Principal at Cresa’s New York office, that vacancy rate sits ...
San Antonio has long attracted relocating buyers, military families on PCS orders, civilian contractors, and professionals priced out of Austin, because of its relative affordability. But the math that once made the market accessible is now working against both sides of the transaction simultaneously. Sellers who locked in mortgage rates below 3.5% recognize that even ...
Renters in Bergen County, New Jersey, are discovering that their monthly payments already approximate what a mortgage would cost. Local agents say this realization is driving more renters toward condo and townhouse purchases they once assumed were out of reach. Heather Corrigan, a Realtor with RE/MAX Signature Homes who handles rentals and sales across Bergen ...
Homes in Celina, Texas have dropped 15 to 20 percent from their pandemic peaks, and 5.7 months of inventory suggests prices haven’t finished falling. The Dallas North Tollway extension is scheduled to reach the city next year. It will cut commute times to Plano and Frisco, where corporate headquarters employ the relocating professionals who drive ...
The bidding wars in northern New Jersey have migrated away from the places most people expect. Downtown Jersey City – long the default destination for buyers priced out of Manhattan – has softened in recent months, while suburban towns surrounding it continue to generate multiple-offer scenarios. The competitive energy has moved outward, to places where ...
A Brooklyn resident spending an hour on the subway to reach midtown Manhattan could swap that commute for a Metro-North train ride of comparable length, and arrive home to a four-bedroom house with a yard instead of a one-bedroom co-op, according to Thomas Klug, Broker & Owner of Hudson Valley Premier Properties Realty, who has ...
When a city converts office buildings into housing, the headline usually celebrates new apartments. What gets less attention is what happens to the businesses that now have fewer places to lease. In Manhattan, residential conversions have removed enough supply to shift the power balance between landlords and tenants, and the effect is accelerating, according to ...
A data point from early 2026 caught attention in the Rochester, New York, market: property values dropped roughly 2 percent between February and May. In a region where prices have climbed steadily for six years, even a modest dip raises a natural question: is the correction finally here? According to Mark Siwiec, Broker/Owner & CEO ...
When mortgage rates were near historic lows in 2021 and 2022, Portland buyers stretched into the city’s outer neighborhoods to get more house for less money. That trade-off made sense when borrowing was almost free. Now, with rates still elevated, according to Scott Edelman, a Realtor with Sold by Scott, homes on Portland’s edges are ...
Florida already attracts buyers with no state income tax. A ballot measure expected in late 2026 could add another financial incentive: a homestead exemption that jumps from $50,000 to $250,000, according to Tony Baroni, Founder & Team Leader of The Tony Baroni Team at Keller Williams Realty. For anyone considering a move to the state, ...
The listed price on a new-construction home north of Dallas often understates what buyers will actually pay each month. A growing number of developments sit outside city limits – technically in Collin County – where a special taxing structure called a Municipal Utility District adds a cost layer that catches many relocating buyers off guard. ...
The skilled-trade shortage in U.S. construction has persisted for years, but the industry’s response is taking a specific new form: developers are moving production into factories, and those factories are increasingly being built on American soil. For buyers in markets where labor constraints have slowed new housing and driven up prices, domestic factory production could ...
