Most conversations about Los Angeles real estate center on unaffordable coastal markets and residents leaving the state entirely. But not every buyer priced out of metro LA is heading to Texas or Arizona. A steady share is driving north, to the Antelope Valley, where homes between $450,000 and $650,000 sell within weeks and inventory sits ...
National housing data suggests a cooling market, but Monmouth County, New Jersey contradicts that narrative. Inventory sits at 2.7 months of supply – roughly half the five-to-six-month threshold that would indicate balance – and prices continue to climb despite mortgage rates near 6.5%, according to Anastasia Cafiero, a Realtor with Realty ONE Group Central who ...
A mortgage rate is refinanceable. A purchase price is not. That asymmetry is the core argument agents in declining-price markets are making to buyers who have spent two years waiting for rates to drop – and it cuts against the logic that has kept many on the sidelines since 2024. According to Audrey Ethridge, Founder ...
Single-family homes in Palm Desert’s gated golf communities are holding value and selling quickly. Condominiums in the same communities are not. The split has less to do with location or club membership than with whether a unit has been renovated, and in a market where three-quarters of owners use their homes only four to five ...
The assumption that higher interest rates have frozen buyers out of the market doesn’t hold up everywhere. In the San Antonio and Texas Hill Country corridor, transactions are happening, but on terms that favor patience and precision over urgency. Prices are declining month over month, inventory is stacking up, and sellers who haven’t adjusted their ...
The accessory dwelling unit market has quietly moved from a niche housing concept to a more mainstream solution. Affordability pressures, an aging demographic, and a wave of supportive local policies are pushing more homeowners and investors to consider what a backyard structure can actually do for them. Peter Anadranistakis, Founder and CEO of OxygenHaus and ...
Few real estate markets in the Northeast tell a more layered story than Newburgh, New York. Situated on the Hudson River about 90 minutes north of Manhattan, this small city of roughly 30,000 people has spent decades navigating the consequences of mid-20th century urban planning decisions that left entire neighborhoods hollowed out. Today, it sits ...
The narrative around Seattle’s high-end real estate market has taken a particular shape in recent months: wealthy residents are leaving, the market is cooling, and the Pacific Northwest’s appeal is fading. On the ground, the picture depends on which price tier you’re watching. Below roughly $4 to $5 million, well-positioned homes still draw multiple offers, ...
Not every property type benefits equally from a tight housing market. In Bergen and Hudson Counties, two of the most supply-constrained corridors in the New York metro area, single-family homes and small multifamily buildings are drawing multiple offers and selling briskly. But condos and townhouses are falling behind, weighed down by a double cost squeeze ...
The Mississippi Gulf Coast housing market is not slow. It is split. Homes in good condition priced below $250,000 are still attracting multiple offers and selling within weeks. But properties priced above that threshold, particularly those where sellers are anchoring to pandemic-era valuations, are sitting for months. The agents working this market say the problem ...
Two years ago, a lakefront home in the right private community near New York City would sell before most buyers had a chance to schedule a showing. Today, well-priced properties in those same communities are sitting, and the slowdown is catching sellers off guard. What agents on the ground are finding is that ultra-low inventory, ...
If you own a single-family home in South Florida and have been thinking about moving into a condo, this moment tilts heavily in your favor. The friction punishing condo sellers – special assessments, rising HOA fees, and tightening lender requirements – is the same friction that hands buyers unusual negotiating power. In a market where ...
If you are shopping for a home or investment property in Los Angeles in 2026, you may have noticed something about the available inventory: a growing share of it was not built from scratch. It was converted. Former industrial buildings turned into lofts. Old warehouses now housing creative offices. Structures that once served manufacturing repurposed ...
The conventional wisdom says buying a home is always better than renting. Build equity, get the tax break, plant roots. But in the Houston metro area, at least one real estate professional working in residential development is making a different case, one backed by straightforward math that many would-be buyers haven’t run for themselves. The ...
If you are shopping for a home in Michigan right now, you are probably watching mortgage rates. But veteran observers in the Lansing and Grand Rapids markets argue that a different number on your monthly statement deserves more attention: your property tax bill. It has been climbing fast enough to cancel out some of the ...
