The real estate brokerage landscape in Eastern Massachusetts is consolidating, not because smaller firms are failing, but because the operational demands of running one have grown faster than most small shops can staff for. Regulatory shifts at both the state and national level, the pressure to adopt AI tools, and rising client expectations around marketing ...
Across the Las Vegas Valley, rental listings are lingering. Properties that once leased in days now sit for weeks, and in some cases, months. The shift has forced property owners to rethink not just what they charge, but what they offer tenants to get them through the door and keep them there. The change is ...
Kootenai County’s housing market splits cleanly by price, and the split reveals something less obvious than typical supply-and-demand math: the fastest-moving homes and the slowest-moving homes are being shaped by two entirely different sets of buyers. Cody Fenske, who leads Apex Realty Partners with EXP Realty in Kootenai County, works primarily with out-of-state buyers and ...
Builders in the North Dallas suburbs have enough standing inventory – and enough willingness to discount – that they are effectively setting the terms for the entire housing market. Resale sellers who price correctly and maintain their homes well are still finding that properties sit, not because of any flaw in the home, but because ...
Nationally, housing inventory is rising, and leverage is shifting toward buyers. Chicago is not following that pattern. Inventory remains tight, particularly in single-family homes, and the structural reason is straightforward, according to Zohaib Khurshid, a listing agent with RE/MAX Premier: homeowners locked into mortgage rates of two or three percent have little financial incentive to ...
Most residential markets follow seasonal patterns shaped by school calendars and weather. Hampton Roads, Virginia, follows those too, but layered on top is a second cycle driven by military Permanent Change of Station orders, known as PCS moves. With Norfolk Naval Base, Oceana, Coast Guard installations, and Air Force facilities spread across the region, the ...
Most residential real estate markets are driven by people who need a place to live. California’s high desert, the stretch of communities surrounding Joshua Tree National Park, from Palm Springs southwest of the Morongo Valley, Yucca Valley, and Twentynine Palms, operates on a different ratio. Roughly 75 percent of buyers in this market are purchasing ...
Thousands of homes burned in Pacific Palisades. The neighborhood is mid-rebuild, partially a ghost town, and priced roughly 20% below where it stood before the fire. In most residential markets, those conditions would signal distress. In Palisades, they are attracting a specific kind of capital: investors buying single-family homes at a discount, renting them for ...
In most metro-adjacent housing markets, demand does not rise and fall evenly. It moves geographically, spreading outward from the employment center in a pattern that rewards close attention to where buyers are landing and where they are pulling back. In North Jersey, that pattern is playing out with unusual clarity right now, and the implications ...
Homes priced above half a million dollars in Collin County are moving steadily. Below that threshold, they sit, sometimes for weeks, because the buyers who need them most can rent for less than a mortgage payment would cost. That dynamic defines the current state of one of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex’s fastest-growing counties, according to ...
Ultra-luxury real estate has kept outperforming the broader housing market: luxury properties outperformed the broader housing market in 2025 and are expected to maintain that momentum as wealth creation, buyer demographics, and global mobility continue to reshape demand. South Florida alone recorded 361 residential property sales above $10 million in 2025, the highest total since ...
The U.S. permanent modular construction market reached $20.5 billion in 2025, representing approximately 5.1% of construction activity in key market segments, and is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 6.5% through 2030. Most of the coverage of that growth focuses on the same variable: cost. Factory-built components cut site labor, compress schedules, ...
Madison, New Jersey has an average home sale price of $1.6 million over the past six months – up 19 percent year over year, according to Marybeth Eckhardt, a partner at Boyd Eckhardt Partners. There are currently nine homes listed for sale in the borough, two of which are already in attorney review. That leaves ...
Charlotte continues to attract roughly 130 new residents a day, according to recent estimates. But for developers trying to acquire land in the region, population growth alone is not translating into straightforward transactions. Development costs have climbed, municipal fees have increased, and review timelines have stretched, all of which have widened the gap between what ...
Lake County, Illinois spans a housing market so wide it includes both $60,000 properties and $5 million estates within a single county. That range alone makes it unusual. What stands out right now is the intensity of buyer competition: according to Redfin data cited by Saieshwar Chikoti, a member of RE/MAX Top Performers, as of ...
