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 ...

Charlotte’s short-term rental market has become noticeably more competitive over the past few years. What was once a relatively open field for casual investors now demands operational discipline, smart pricing, and differentiated properties, qualities that increasingly separate operators who thrive from those who quietly exit. Few people have watched this more closely than Teri Trifiletti, ...

National headlines about a cooling housing market may be accurate in parts of the country, but they don’t reflect what is happening on the ground in New Jersey’s Somerset County. While markets like Phoenix, Austin, and Chicago have experienced notable corrections, this corner of the Northeast has remained firmly in seller’s market territory, and the ...

Westchester County, New York, has consistently outperformed comparable suburban markets through multiple economic downturns, from the 1988 stock market correction to the 2008 financial crisis. Its position just north of New York City, combined with access to strong public schools and relatively short commute times, has made it a reliable destination for families relocating from ...

Fort Worth, Texas, has ranked among the fastest-growing cities in the United States, adding roughly 20,000 residents annually over the past two decades. That pace of growth has driven up housing costs, strained permitting systems, and exposed the limits of aging infrastructure across the city — pressures especially concentrated in District 9, which spans downtown, ...

Across California, state housing mandates and local planning priorities are increasingly at odds. Few places illustrate that tension as clearly as San Diego’s Point Loma Peninsula, where a 67,000-resident community is caught between developer ambitions, state density requirements, and infrastructure largely built during World War II. Two major projects could add tens of thousands of ...

The commercial real estate conversation around Austin often centers on tech campuses and mixed-use megaprojects, but the thousands of small and mid-sized businesses forming the backbone of the local economy are facing a far different reality. Higher interest rates, tighter lending standards, and climbing construction costs have converged to squeeze a segment of the market ...

After more than three decades working across New Hampshire’s seacoast and southern commercial real estate markets, David Choate, former Executive Vice President at Colliers International, offers a ground-level view of a region quietly shaped by tax advantages, proximity to Boston, and steady demographic shifts. New Hampshire’s appeal runs deeper than headlines suggest — a state ...
