In a city with enough inventory to give buyers real leverage, the segment of the Houston housing market that should be busiest, homes priced between $300,000 and $600,000, is among the slowest to move. Properties below $300,000 are attracting first-time and value-oriented buyers, and listings above $500,000 continue to draw move-up purchasers with less rate ...
Most small mountain towns in the American West have a straightforward real estate story: pandemic-era demand inflated prices, and now those prices are correcting. Taos County, New Mexico, is not following that pattern. Per-square-foot prices there are still climbing, according to Karen Todd, a real estate professional with The Dragonfly Group at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices ...
A declining median price usually signals a cooling market. In Northeast Dallas, the story is more complicated. The number of homes selling in 2026 has actually increased compared to 2024 and 2025, according to Cindy Dunnican of The Dunnican Team at Coldwell Banker Apex, who has worked the Northeast Dallas market since 1998. But the ...
Homeowners who bought during the 2022–2023 building boom in parts of southern Dallas-Fort Worth are discovering an uncomfortable reality: the new homes going up next door are priced at or below what they paid. For sellers who need to exit, the math often doesn’t work. Some are coming to the table with cash beyond their ...
Williamson County, Tennessee, one of the Nashville metro’s most sought-after suburban markets, has not seen the inventory correction or price decline affecting other parts of Middle Tennessee. But stability has not meant ease. The market has entered a phase where pricing precision and property condition separate homes that sell within weeks from those that sit ...
For the past several years, private equity has poured into HVAC, plumbing, and electrical businesses, pushing valuations higher and making the trades one of the most active corners of the lower middle market. That wave has not receded, but it has changed character. Buyers are still showing up, just not for every business that comes ...
In most U.S. housing markets, the conversation in late 2026 centers on rising inventory and price adjustments. In Westwood, Massachusetts, a commuter town roughly 30 minutes west of Boston, neither condition applies. The town currently has about 20 homes listed for sale, a figure that has held relatively steady for years, according to Tammy DeWolfe, ...
Missoula’s real estate market has more inventory than it has had in five years, yet correctly priced homes are still selling within a week, sometimes with multiple offers. The gap between those outcomes and the listings that sit for months comes down to a single variable that has nothing to do with interest rates, staging, ...
Fewer homes are changing hands in California right now, but the number of fights over the ones that do is not falling with them. Purchase and sale disputes, title fraud, and fire-related rebuilding conflicts are all landing on litigation desks with regularity, according to Zach Schorr, founder of Schorr Law, a Los Angeles litigation firm ...
The Chicago metropolitan area has spent the past two years doing something its coastal counterparts have not: appreciating. While markets in New York and Los Angeles have undergone price corrections, according to Sean Zhu of Frog City Realty LLC, housing values across the Chicago region have continued climbing, a dynamic pulling both relocating families and ...
Buyers in Chicago’s western suburbs are competing aggressively for homes, yet overpriced properties sit and stagnate. Sellers hold leverage, yet many refuse to list because they cannot find their own next home. The result, according to Chris Pequet, a broker with Jameson Sotheby’s International Realty who has sold real estate in this market for more ...
Less than two months of housing supply across the far northwest suburbs of Chicago would normally suggest a seller’s market across the board. But the inventory shortage is masking a sharp divide: roughly a quarter of listings are absorbing nearly all buyer energy, while the rest accumulate days on market and price cuts. That split, ...
Closed sales in the Philadelphia metro area have dropped by about 3 percent, according to recent local data. But 20 miles northeast in Bucks County, closed sales are up roughly two to two and a quarter percent. According to Hernan Alvarado, a Realtor with Realty ONE Group Focus who works both Philadelphia’s urban core and ...
Sellers preparing to list homes in central Pennsylvania may be spending money on the wrong upgrades. Millennial buyers between 30 and 45, the largest active cohort in the Harrisburg-area market, are not chasing high-end finishes, according to Maryssa Chaplin of the Chaplin Group at Keller Williams of Central PA. They care far more about structural ...
Housing inventory across much of the country has climbed to levels not seen in four years. For buyers, that looks like relief after years of bidding wars and razor-thin selection. But the supply gain is a side effect of suppressed demand, not a surge in new listings, and if mortgage rates decline enough to bring ...
