New Orleans doesn’t have much room to grow outward. Surrounded by water and constrained by geography, the metro can’t absorb demand the way Houston or Phoenix can through suburban expansion. That physical limitation shapes nearly everything about how the market behaves, from where prices move to which neighborhoods attract new interest. It also means that ...
The Tampa Bay housing market absorbed one of the country’s largest pandemic-era population surges. Prices climbed sharply as out-of-state buyers competed for limited inventory. Now the correction is underway, and it is not just pushing prices down. It is changing which properties sell, which neighborhoods hold value, and what buyers are willing to tolerate in ...
Two vacant lots on Beverly Drive in Highland Park recently sold for $5.5 million each, side by side. A two-year-old home on just under an acre is coming to market at nearly $32 million in a neighborhood with no views and no mountains. The numbers sound like coastal pricing, but this is Dallas, and the ...
A real estate market where sales, prices, and shrinking inventory all point upward should be one where homes sell faster. In the Florida Keys, the opposite is happening. Through the first eight months of 2026, sales across every Keys submarket are up 11% year over year, according to Lisa Ferringo, who leads the Lisa Ferringo ...
In most housing markets, rising mortgage rates hit the top of the price ladder hardest. In the East Bay suburbs east of San Francisco, the pattern has reversed. Homes priced above $3 million are moving faster than those below $2 million – a dynamic shaped by Silicon Valley wealth and a deep base of high-earning ...
Homes in the Ozarks region used to sell in under 20 days. Average days on market have now climbed to roughly 90, a shift that arrived within the past 30 to 45 days and is reshaping how both buyers and investors deploy capital across the state, according to Rachel Countryman, a real estate professional with ...
The industrial real estate market across the western United States has absorbed a wave of post-pandemic construction, but not evenly. Large-format warehouses and distribution buildings drove both headline capital flows and elevated vacancy in markets from Seattle to Phoenix. One segment, however, has been largely absent from the construction pipeline: small and mid-bay multi-tenant industrial ...
For the first time in roughly five years, some homes in the western suburbs of Chicago are sitting on the market for more than a couple of weeks. In a region where single-family inventory stands at about a month and a half of supply, a quarter of the six months typically considered a balanced market, ...
In the Dallas-Fort Worth residential market, buyers who have been priced out of new construction over the past 12 to 24 months are now shopping at lower price points, but arriving with the same expectations for quality and finish. The result, according to Cisco Gonzalez, Team Founder and Listing Agent at Maverick Real Estate Group ...
In most Texas metros, the conversation about housing affordability centers on rising prices. In San Antonio, the pressure is coming from a different direction: pre-owned homes are sitting unsold while builders undercut them on price, financing, and condition, according to Katie Powers, a team lead and broker with the Lifestyles of San Antonio team. The ...
Developers and operators across the U.S. have historically treated interior design as one of the last line items in a project budget, something applied after the structural and financial decisions were already made. That hierarchy is under pressure. Construction financing has gotten more expensive: 30-year construction loan rates have hovered near 6.5 percent through 2026, ...
For years, the mortgage industry’s affordability conversation has centered on one variable: interest rates. When rates fall, more buyers qualify. When they rise, the pool shrinks. That framework is increasingly incomplete. Rising insurance costs and elevated consumer debt loads, built up over several years of a difficult borrowing and cost-of-living environment, are creating qualification barriers ...
For two weeks earlier this year, 30-year mortgage rates dipped below 6% in the South Bay of Los Angeles. Multiple offers materialized on properties that otherwise would have sat, and homes sold for $50,000 to $100,000 over list price. Then geopolitical conflict pushed oil prices and rates back up, and the market cooled just as ...
For years, lakefront real estate around Anderson, South Carolina ran on a straightforward formula: limited shoreline, steady inbound migration, and prices that moved in one direction. That formula has fractured. Persistent drought, a federal infrastructure decision that will keep Lake Hartwell’s water levels suppressed for up to a decade, and a glut of new construction ...
Homeowners renovating in London still default to a simple metric: square footage added, value gained. But that shorthand is increasingly unreliable. Analysis of London property values shows the amount a given square meter is worth varies sharply across the city, meaning a flat per-square-foot formula fails as soon as it’s applied to a specific street ...
