If you have been searching for a vacation home on Long Beach Island, you already know the frustration. There are almost no listings. And experts who work this market say the shortage is not a temporary blip – it is a structural condition driven by fixed land supply, protected wetlands, and buyer demand that has ...
The most affordable land in New Jersey with a workable commute to Philadelphia is not where most buyers are looking, and that mismatch is starting to close. Agents with broad territory across South Jersey are pointing to Cumberland and Salem counties as the part of the market where value still exists, at a moment when ...
Something unusual is happening in the Southwest Florida housing market in mid-2026: the more expensive the home, the faster it tends to sell. That pattern runs counter to what most people expect from a market that has been cooling since the pandemic peak, and it has real implications for anyone trying to buy or sell ...
Small investors eyeing the northern Indianapolis suburbs in 2026 are often looking for the wrong opportunity. The search for a quick flip, buy distressed, renovate, sell at a profit, runs into a market where prices are already strong and undervalued properties are scarce. What the data and experienced observers on the ground suggest is that ...
When a tenant and landlord both want to part ways, a cash-for-keys agreement used to be one of the cleaner solutions available. The landlord pays the tenant to vacate voluntarily, the tenant walks away with money in hand, and both sides avoid the cost and stress of eviction court. In Santa Monica, that option has ...
The luxury coastal real estate market rarely tells a simple story, and for brokers operating across multiple geographies, the differences between markets can be just as instructive as the similarities. Jack Zaborowski, Broker Associate at eXp Realty, has spent nearly two decades navigating that complexity, running the Jack and Jill team across North Palm Beach ...
The Treasure Coast of Florida has long attracted buyers priced out of South Florida’s more established markets. Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie, in particular, have drawn attention for their relative affordability, available land, and coastal appeal. But as of mid-2026, the market is more complex than the “underrated gem” narrative that circulated in recent ...
After more than four decades in the business, Jim Myrick has watched Silicon Valley reinvent itself several times, from hardware and personal computers to the dot-com era, social media, biotech, and now artificial intelligence. Through each cycle, the region’s real estate market has followed its own logic, one that doesn’t always match the national narrative. ...
Florida’s real estate market is being pulled in two directions at once. In South Florida, international capital – particularly from Latin America – is reshaping the condo and short-term rental market. In the greater Orlando area, a steady flow of domestic relocators and forward-looking foreign investors is fueling demand for long-term residential assets. For agents ...
With roughly 165 active projects across Miami-Dade and Broward County, buyers can afford to be choosy. Brandon Talalaevsky of Property Pro Partners argues that aggregate inventory numbers miss the real story: which projects meet today’s higher standards and which don’t. When headlines describe Miami’s condo market as slowing, they typically draw on metro-wide or county-level ...
The Silicon Valley luxury market is riding a wave of capital spending on AI infrastructure that even its biggest beneficiaries acknowledge looks overheated. John Young, co-founder of Young Platinum Group at Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty, has analyzed Palo Alto housing data across three major downturns over the past 28 years. His conclusion: while the ...
The narrative that Florida’s real estate market has simply “cooled off” from its pandemic-era peak doesn’t capture what’s happening across Northeast and Central Florida. The reality is more specific: a market sorting itself into distinct pockets, where pricing strategy, local knowledge, and buyer selectivity determine which properties move and which sit. Rising inventory, more cautious ...
Real estate inventory data in New York’s Hudson Valley may be overstating how constrained the market actually is for buyers, according to Vicki Stent, a licensed real estate salesperson with Coldwell Banker Village Green Realty. Stent says that even during periods when headline inventory numbers pointed to shortage conditions, she was consistently finding suitable properties ...
When homes sit unsold for months in a market with rising inventory, the instinct is to blame interest rates or buyer hesitation. Michelle Chase, Team Leader at The Michelle Chase Team with Home Wise Realty Group, points to a different culprit: agents who take listings at prices they know are too high. Chase has spent ...
The idea that rising home prices benefit everyone in a housing market is getting harder to defend. What real estate professionals are seeing in markets like San Luis Obispo County tells a more complicated story, one where the same price appreciation that rewards longtime owners is systematically locking out everyone else. Hal Sweasey, broker and ...
