The Palm Beach County real estate market in mid-2026 looks notably different from the frenzied pandemic years. Inventory levels are rising, buyers are more cautious, and condo valuations are still working through the aftermath of new state reserve regulations. For agents who specialize in the 55-plus community, the result is a market that rewards precision ...
Wellington, Florida, has long held its place as the winter equestrian capital of the world, drawing thousands of horses, riders, and investors from across the globe each season. But the market is navigating a more complicated moment than its polished reputation might suggest. Rising competition from other Florida venues, a growing supply of barn space, ...
The suburbs southwest of Dallas have quietly become one of the more accessible entry points into Texas homeownership. While much of the national conversation around real estate remains focused on affordability challenges and rate uncertainty, markets like Duncanville and Cedar Hill are drawing steady buyer interest, driven by competitive price points, growing inventory, and a ...
Every home listed for sale today comes with a visual record: room-by-room photos, condition details, sometimes a floor plan. That record is built for buyers, and the moment a purchase contract is signed, it is set aside. Kenon Chen, EVP of Strategy and Growth at Clear Capital, is working on what happens to that data ...
After years of runaway appreciation followed by a correction, Dallas home prices have returned to a trajectory closer to their long-term. Many buyers expected that cooling prices would mean less competition and more breathing room. In some segments, that’s true. But in the $250,000 to $500,000 range, where most first-time and move-up buyers are active, ...
Ask a home seller in Myrtle Beach how the market feels right now, and many will say they’re giving too much away. Buyers are negotiating harder. Offers are coming in below asking. Concessions that would have been unthinkable a few years ago are now part of almost every deal. But there’s a number hiding in ...
The Greater Rochester, Western New York, and Finger Lakes region rarely makes national real estate headlines. Yet for investors, relocating families, and second-home buyers, this stretch of upstate New York offers opportunities that few markets can match, from lakefront luxury to affordable commuter towns, historic village homes to newly built communities. Understanding it, however, requires ...
New York City’s real estate market has long operated by its own rules, and 2026 is no exception. With inventory constrained, demand holding firm in key neighborhoods, and a wave of policy changes adding uncertainty to the investment landscape, the market is presenting a mixed picture for buyers, sellers, and investors. Mike Falchiere, founder of ...
A proposed policy change working its way through the Florida state legislature could significantly affect the residential real estate market in Southwest Florida, and the timeline for action may be shorter than many homeowners realize.

While much of the country’s housing market has cooled – with sellers accepting below-ask offers and inventory slowly building – Central New Jersey remains intensely competitive. Coastal desirability, steady migration from New York City, and persistent supply constraints have kept the region’s post-pandemic dynamics largely intact, even as national conditions soften. Caroline Masse (Garguilo), founder ...
A clear divide is playing out in New York City real estate. Renovated apartments and townhomes are selling quickly, sometimes before the listing goes live. Older units with dated kitchens and tired bathrooms are sitting for weeks, collecting price reductions while sellers struggle to understand what went wrong. The difference isn’t location or even price. ...
Brooklyn has had quite a run. Neighborhoods that were considered overlooked a decade ago, Bed-Stuy, Crown Heights, Bushwick, have seen townhouse prices jump from $1 million to $2 million to $3 million to $5 million. Sunset Park quietly became one of the borough’s better values. And during COVID, buyers flooded in looking for space, backyards, ...
For deaf and hard-of-hearing Americans, buying or selling a home has long meant navigating a process designed without them in mind, from phone-heavy communication with lenders to fast-moving negotiations where nuance gets lost. A service called Equal Access Real Estate Services, known as E.A.R.S., is working to close that gap by connecting deaf clients with ...
Walk into a Central Jersey open house this spring, and you’ll notice something quickly: the freshly renovated home down the street had four groups through on Saturday. The one two blocks over, same size, same neighborhood, but with original 1980s bathrooms, is still sitting. That gap between what’s selling fast and what’s collecting dust is ...
For most home buyers and sellers, the appraisal feels like a black box. You wait. You hope the number comes back right. And if it doesn’t, everything can unravel fast. But the way homes get appraised is changing – and if you’re buying or selling right now, it’s worth understanding what’s different, because it affects ...
