The build-to-rent sector in Texas is entering a period of genuine transition. Institutional buyers are pulling back, distressed builder inventory is surfacing across master-planned communities, and recent federal legislation is quietly opening doors for smaller investors who have long been crowded out of the market. For those paying close attention, the window may be narrower ...
Michigan has long marketed itself on affordability, and for good reason. Home prices across the Lansing and Grand Rapids markets remain well below national averages, drawing first-time buyers, investors, and move-up purchasers alike. But with a November ballot measure that could eliminate property taxes now on the horizon, the state’s cost advantage is facing its ...
For years, institutional real estate investors rode returns driven largely by capital markets activity. When interest rates were near zero, generating gains was relatively straightforward. That era is over, and the shift is changing how pension funds, endowments, and foundations choose who manages their money. The change is visible in how investors now evaluate managers, ...
The Austin metro area has been trading the first and second spot for worst market saturation in the country, according to Batya Porter, a real estate agent and licensed property tax consultant at Horizon Realty in North Austin. The effects go beyond simple price declines. Sellers who purchased between late 2020 and 2024 are frequently ...
For many years, Salisbury and much of the Concord area were known primarily for established neighborhoods, relative affordability, and convenient access to employment centers throughout the greater Charlotte region. Today, those markets are experiencing meaningful change. New residential construction has expanded significantly, national builders are offering financing incentives, and buyers are approaching the market with ...
The conventional image of industrial real estate, massive distribution centers, six-figure square footage, institutional capital, does not match what is actually happening on the ground in Houston. While national coverage focuses on large speculative builds near ports and logistics corridors, a different pattern is playing out in the city’s flex and light industrial segments: demand ...
In South Florida’s residential market, geography matters in ways that don’t show up in regional averages. Properties in western suburban communities with strong school districts are drawing multiple offers within days of listing, while homes on the eastern side, closer to the beach and urban cores, are sitting with heavy inventory and selling at discounts ...
The conventional narrative about commercial lending pullback focuses on big banks and headline-grabbing office defaults. But in the Mid-Atlantic’s middle market, deals between $2 million and $15 million, the tightening is showing up in subtler, more consequential ways: shorter interest-only periods, lower leverage ratios, and a new insistence on seasoned cash flow that extends timelines ...
Most independent brokerages face a familiar fork: stay small and nimble, or grow and risk becoming indistinguishable from the national brands they once positioned against. Along New Jersey’s commuter corridor from Hudson County through Essex and into Somerset, Corcoran Sawyer Smith has been testing whether acquisitions can scale a boutique without diluting it – and ...
A market with rising inventory, softening prices, and motivated sellers would typically favor buyers. In southern Denton County, Texas, buyers who like what they see are choosing to wait anyway, hoping something better comes along, and in the process, creating a stalemate that drags out days on market for listings that should be moving. After ...
The usual story about senior housing markets involves inventory, pricing, and interest rates. In Ocean County, New Jersey, one of the state’s densest concentrations of age-restricted communities, a less visible problem may be shaping the market just as much: the people running the communities themselves. Many of Ocean County’s 55-plus developments are self-managed or governed ...
Six years after the pandemic reshaped how and where people work, Chicago’s commercial interior construction market is showing clear signs of recovery.

Finding shared housing in European cities has never been straightforward, but the gap between supply and demand has grown sharply in recent years. In Switzerland, as in many urban markets across the continent, the number of people searching for a room vastly outnumbers those offering one. For Safras Rawfal, who experienced this firsthand while studying ...
Real estate professionals watching companies pour into Florida, Texas, and other business-friendly states may be overestimating how many of the arriving employees will need mortgages.
