Brian Brosen, Licensed Associate Broker and Founding Partner of The Capital ...

Florida’s residential real estate market looks stable on paper. Prices in many areas have not collapsed, transaction activity continues, and media coverage still leans toward the idea of a resilient Sunbelt market. But for those working directly with distressed homeowners, the picture on the ground is considerably more complicated. Ron Myers, President of Ron Buys ...

For most of the last decade, the promise of online capital raising was simple: reach more investors. It worked — until everyone else reached them too.

Key Biscayne, one of Miami’s most distinctive island communities, is quietly emerging as a compelling alternative to the city’s better-known neighborhoods — offering waterfront living, strong schools, and a self-contained lifestyle at prices that still trail those in comparable nearby markets.

After years of rapid price growth and bidding wars, South Florida’s luxury residential market has entered a cooler, more cautious phase.

With national office vacancy rates near historic highs and property values falling sharply, adaptive reuse has moved from a niche strategy into a mainstream development conversation.

In rental markets across the country, property managers are rethinking what success actually looks like. Occupancy rates and days on market still matter, but a quieter metric is gaining ground among experienced operators: renewal rate.
