The real estate industry runs on conviction. But conviction, more often than not, is just emotion wearing a suit. The developers who consistently outperform aren’t the loudest voices in the room. They’re the ones watching data points that most operators don’t even know to track. Daniel Kaufman, founder of Kaufman & Company – a fully ...
The numbers tell part of the story. Maine led the entire country in home price appreciation from the first quarter of 2020 through the fourth quarter of 2024, according to the National Association of Realtors, outpacing Florida, Wyoming, New Hampshire, and Vermont. For a state with just 1.4 million residents and roughly 4,000 single-family homes ...
Few real estate markets along the Eastern Seaboard operate quite like Long Beach Island. Tucked along the New Jersey Shore, this narrow barrier island has long attracted second-home buyers, retirees, and investors drawn by its beaches, waterfront access, and lifestyle appeal. But the market has been quietly moving in ways that aren’t always visible from ...
Buffalo, New York, has long been one of the more affordable housing markets in the United States. With average home prices hovering around $250,000, well below the national average of roughly $350,000 to $400,000, the city has historically attracted investors looking for accessible entry points into residential real estate. But affordability alone no longer tells ...
As uncertainty ripples through housing markets across the country, one Midwestern metro continues to draw buyers, investors, and corporate relocations with quiet consistency. Columbus, Ohio, and its surrounding communities have built a reputation for stability that stands apart from the volatility seen in coastal and Sun Belt markets. With national transaction volumes declining and interest ...
The wildfires that swept through Los Angeles County in early 2025 left behind more than burned structures. They exposed a fragile system of insurance gaps, permitting burdens, and community trauma that no single agency could address. More than a year later, thousands of families remain displaced, navigating a recovery process that is slower, more expensive, ...
Toronto’s housing market has undergone one of the most dramatic reversals in recent North American real estate history. Once defined by frenzied bidding wars and skyrocketing prices, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) has seen home values fall by as much as 25% from their 2022 peak, with condominium values dropping even further. Unsold inventory has ...
The narrative around South Florida real estate has long centered on Miami’s waterfront towers and celebrity-studded islands. But buyers seeking space, privacy, and value are increasingly looking to western Broward County, and developers are following them there. With 361 residential sales above $10 million recorded across South Florida in 2025, the second-highest annual total on ...
The Las Vegas housing market defies simple narratives. While national headlines focus on interest-rate pressures and cooling demand, conditions in Southern Nevada tell a more nuanced story. Sub-markets behave differently, buyer profiles are shifting, and the gap between well-priced and overpriced listings is becoming increasingly visible. Activity on the ground reflects this complexity. Agents are ...
While home values have softened and transaction volumes slowed across much of the country, Vermont’s most densely populated region has followed its own path. Chittenden County — anchored by Burlington and its surrounding communities — has maintained housing demand that continues to outpace supply, driven by factors that extend well beyond interest-rate sensitivity. Joe Villemaire, ...
The great wealth transfer has been discussed in financial circles for years. Still, the practical reality of what happens when families actually inherit real estate is far messier than the headline numbers suggest. Probate timelines, multi-heir disagreements, stepped-up basis decisions, and the challenge of finding the right broker for an unfamiliar property type – these ...
The Adirondack region of upstate New York is one of the most unique real estate markets in the country — shaped by protected land, seasonal demand, and a tight housing supply that shows no signs of loosening. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a second-home seeker, or a short-term rental investor, understanding how this market works ...
There is a quiet campaign underway in parts of the American real estate industry to make days on market disappear. Some brokerages and industry voices argue that displaying how long a listing has been active puts sellers at a disadvantage, giving buyers a negotiation lever without requiring them to disclose anything equivalent about themselves. It ...
Empty nesters preparing to downsize consistently underestimate one critical factor: how long decluttering actually takes. This miscalculation delays moves, adds unnecessary stress, and often costs thousands of dollars in last-minute junk removal fees. The problem isn’t physical labor. Moving boxes and furniture takes minimal time once decisions are made. The bottleneck occurs earlier, during the ...
