In most housing markets, a small shift in mortgage rates changes a monthly payment by a manageable amount. In Orange County, California, where typical purchase prices run well above a million dollars, that same quarter-point shift moves payments by hundreds of dollars a month. According to Jordan Bennett, team lead of Jordan Bennett & Associates ...
In hurricane-prone parts of the US, the case for 3D-printed housing rests less on speed or novelty than on what the walls are made of. Concrete homes printed by robots carry specific resilience advantages over stick-built wood framing, advantages that matter most in markets where storms, termites, and wildfire threaten conventional structures. Boris Kozlov, Founder ...
The Hamptons real estate market remains stable even as buyer behavior becomes more cautious and deliberate. Veteran agents Patricia Oakley and Brian Leicht of the Oakley Leicht team at Saunders & Associates describe a landscape shaped by long-term changes in demand, inventory, and buyer expectations.

Most property owners think of their buildings in terms of square footage on the ground. The walls, the floors, the parking lot – that is the asset. But aviation infrastructure advisors working with developers across the Middle East and the United States are making a different case: the sky above a property is a separate ...
For a growing share of American households, staying in an apartment isn’t a holding pattern before homeownership. It’s a deliberate financial decision – one driven by math that has shifted sharply against buyers in recent years, according to Chamari De Silva, Director of Marketing at Renew, a renewal, retention, and management platform for multifamily operators. ...
A buyer scrolling listings in La Quinta or Indian Wells in California sees a monthly HOA fee north of $1,000 and mentally crosses that community off the list. It feels like a penalty – money disappearing into someone else’s budget every month. But in the Coachella Valley’s gated golf communities, buyers who dismiss properties on ...
The appeal of building your own home from a kit is simple: skip the general contractor, save tens of thousands, and end up with a house you assembled with your own hands. Younger buyers priced out of traditional construction are increasingly drawn to this path. But the savings only materialize if you honestly assess one ...
Housing markets across the U.S. are splitting into two distinct stories in 2026, with high-end demand holding steady while entry-level segments cool under mounting affordability pressure. Houston illustrates this national divide with unusual clarity. Houston’s housing market is not one market. At $1.2 million and above, properties move quickly, driven by corporate relocations and executives ...
Younger, working-class families are bypassing established Dallas suburbs in favor of lower-maintenance housing in fast-growing peripheral cities – and the capital hasn’t followed them yet. The most significant demand shift in the Dallas-Fort Worth market in mid-2026 isn’t happening in the submarkets that dominate real estate headlines. According to Nadeem Khan, a Realtor with Crown ...
A home that would have drawn 15 offers in a weekend three years ago now sits for 60 to 120 days or longer in the Scottsdale area, and according to Brad Kimmelman, Team Leader, Senior Global Real Estate Advisor with The Homanity Team at Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty, the listing itself is rarely the ...
Two homes list in Houston’s western suburbs in the same week. One is priced at $550,000. The other at $1.25 million. The cheaper home sits for 90 days. The expensive one sells over asking with multiple offers. That split, counterintuitive on its surface, is what Bryan Lillis, team lead at Luxe Realty Houston, describes as ...
In California’s High Desert, a new class of buyer is entering the luxury real estate market with a primary goal that has little to do with rental income or appreciation. According to Hargo Khalsa, Realtor & Developer at Joshua Tree Modern, a growing number of high-income purchasers are approaching him specifically to access accelerated depreciation ...
Real estate standoffs usually resolve themselves, prices drift, expectations adjust, and transactions eventually clear the backlog. In California’s Coachella Valley, some sellers are skipping that process altogether: rather than cut prices to move a stalled listing, they’re pulling it off the market and waiting out the slow summer season instead. The shift reflects a broader ...
The pitch sounds irresistible: buy a condo near the coast, furnish it, find a tenant who stays three to six months, and collect rent while you do almost nothing. That story circulates widely among small investors eyeing San Diego’s midterm rental market in 2026. But operators actually running these properties say the reality is far ...
The wood-frame, stucco-clad homes that dominate Southern California residential construction burned by the thousands last year. Concrete does not burn. The technology that once made concrete homes prohibitively expensive for residential use – the formwork, the labor, the time – is now being stripped away by robotic printers laying walls with a precision no human ...
