Walk through an open house in Northeast Portland on a Sunday afternoon, and you might see something that’s been rare for a while: a handful of serious buyers, genuine competition, maybe a few offers by Monday morning. Drive out to the suburbs, and the picture is different. Homes are sitting. Sellers are cutting prices. Days ...
Not all Austin real estate is moving at the same pace. Buyers shopping for a traditional single-family home in a strong school district will find real competition. But those eyeing a condo — whether a downtown high-rise or a small complex on the east side — have more time, more leverage, and more options than ...
There’s a quiet but telling pattern at open houses across northwestern Vermont. A buyer walks in, glances at the dated kitchen, peeks at the bathroom, and – without saying much – moves on. No offer. No callback. Just a polite exit and a mental note to keep looking. With more inventory available than at any ...
Rhode Island’s housing market remains tilted toward sellers heading into spring 2026. Still, the dynamics have shifted enough that sellers relying on 2022 or 2023 strategies are watching their homes sit on the market. Inventory is still historically low, and demand from out-of-state buyers continues to push prices up in key areas. Buyers have grown ...
After two years of frantic bidding wars and same-day offers, the Central Jersey housing market has slowed enough to give buyers meaningful leverage for the first time since the pandemic boom. Homes are still selling, but not always on day one – and buyers who show up now have more room to negotiate than at ...
If you’ve been watching the South Jersey housing market from the sidelines, waiting for prices to dip, the data points in the opposite direction. Buyers are moving faster than they have in recent years. Prices continue climbing, and those who get in now stand to build equity quickly. Nicole Peranteau, a realtor with Real Broker ...
The traditional housing ladder, where buyers trade up to larger homes as families grow, is breaking down in Portland, according to Carey Hughes, Principal Broker at Carey Hughes Homes. The dramatic gap between pandemic-era mortgage rates and current rates has created a financial barrier so steep that a whole segment of would-be sellers is simply ...
While housing markets across the country have cooled under the weight of elevated interest rates and rising inventory, Vermont’s residential market continues to appreciate. The state’s constrained supply and quality-of-life-driven buyer base are producing outcomes that diverge from nearly every national trend and that gap appears to be widening. Vermont Buyers Aren’t Chasing Rates, They’re ...
New homes are going up across Monmouth County, New Jersey, but they are not putting a dent in the area’s persistent housing shortage. Kyle Golden, a Realtor at CENTURY 21 Thomson & Co., says the county’s supply problem is not a temporary market cycle but a permanent land constraint that new construction cannot meaningfully overcome, ...
Most American cities follow a predictable economic distribution. Santa Fe, according to one long-tenure market observer, does not, and that structural anomaly has direct consequences for who can buy, who gets priced out, and why the upper tier of the market keeps expanding. An Inverted Distribution Chris Webster, CEO and publisher of Leading Estates of ...
When Space Center funding contracted around 2008, Florida’s Space Coast didn’t just experience a downturn; it experienced one of the more severe regional collapses in a state already among the hardest-hit nationally.

Las Vegas carries a powerful association with hospitality and short-term stays. That reputation draws a steady stream of real estate investors who assume the city’s culture translates into a permissive environment for Airbnb-style rentals. According to Ilona Fedorko, a realtor with Scofield Group LLC, that assumption is wrong — and acting on it without due ...
Corporate return-to-office mandates and the practical economics of rent constraints are quietly building a case for secondary office stock that the market has largely dismissed since the pandemic. For much of the past five years, the consensus on office real estate, particularly B and C class buildings, has been straightforward: oversupplied, structurally impaired, and unlikely ...
Debt funds in multifamily lending have multiplied in recent years, expanding the availability of capital on paper. But their highly specific underwriting requirements regarding property age, deal size, and business plan stage are creating a fragmented market in which matching the right borrower to the right lender has become a specialized skill.

The mortgage rate lock narrative has become a catch-all explanation for tight inventory, but on-the-ground evidence suggests it applies to a far narrower slice of the market than conventional wisdom assumes. The rate-lock story has become one of the most repeated explanations in residential real estate: millions of homeowners are sitting on 2.5% and 3% ...
