Buyers shopping for homes in Chino, California, face a gap of $25,000 to $40,000 depending on whether they choose new construction or resale, a gap created by builder incentives that resale sellers cannot match. According to Thomas Ryan, a Realtor with Thomas Ryan Real Estate at Real Broker who focuses on the Chino and Chino ...
The properties generating the strongest cash flow in South Florida are not the ones most investors notice first. Polished Class A buildings, waterfront luxury units, and newly built complexes attract attention but compress returns. Experienced investors working in Miami-Dade and Broward County are instead buying mobile home parks, working-class rental portfolios, and properties in neighborhoods ...
Buyers relocating to Santa Fe County’s Eldorado community almost always arrive with the same assumption: that their money will go further in New Mexico than it did back home. According to Lisa Smith, an associate broker at Sotheby’s International Realty who has worked Eldorado’s market for 21 years, the opposite is true, most end up ...
The fix-and-flip model has long attracted small investors who want a tangible, short-cycle return. But in lower Westchester County, the conditions that once made flipping viable are eroding. Rising labor costs, expensive materials, and drawn-out project timelines are compressing the margins that used to make these deals worthwhile. Frank Palombo, a Realtor with Howard Hanna ...
Condominium projects originally designed for sale are converting to rental use across Quebec, adding inventory to a market where vacancy is already rising, and rents are falling. For small landlords who bought properties during the post-COVID boom, these conversions introduce competitors that national housing data does not capture until units are actually listed, according to ...
If you own a home in southern New Hampshire right now, selling it probably won’t be your problem. Homes still move quickly, often at or above asking price. The real challenge – the one that catches sellers off guard – is figuring out where you’re going next. In a market this competitive, selling without a ...
For years, real estate observers in the Philadelphia metro region described South Jersey as undervalued – a suburban stretch with beach access and lower taxes that hadn’t caught up to its northern counterpart. That description is outdated, according to Shelby Morgan, Broker/Owner of Morgan Capital Real Estate in Marlton, New Jersey. Prices in parts of ...
Two years ago in the Buffalo metro, getting a home often meant going over the asking price. Buyers approved for $350,000 would bid $360,000 and figure out the difference later. That era is over. According to Lawrence Blaber, a Realtor with WNY Metro Roberts Realty who works with both homeowners and investors across the Buffalo ...
You found the house. It is 10:30 on a Tuesday night; you are scrolling through listing photos on your phone, and you have three questions you want answered right now. You fill out a contact form. Nobody responds until the next afternoon. By then, you have moved on, or worse, another buyer has moved faster. ...
For more than two years, market watchers in the greater Houston area have been bracing for a surge of foreclosures. The logic seemed sound: pandemic-era moratoriums expired, interest rates jumped, and homeowners who stretched too thin would inevitably fall behind. But the wave hasn’t arrived – at least not in the form anyone predicted. What’s ...
Buyers relocating to South Jersey from New York or North Jersey often arrive expecting a bargain. Home prices are lower, lots are bigger, and commute access to Philadelphia remains strong. But the sticker price is only half the equation, and property taxes blindside people who haven’t done their homework, according to Maria Robles, a Realtor ...
National stories about softening prices in Florida, Arizona, and parts of Texas suggest buyers everywhere hold the cards. In the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro, that assumption is costing buyers deals. Minnesota does not move like those headline-grabbing markets, says Bryan Vant Hof, a Realtor with RE/MAX Advantage Plus and The Minnesota Real Estate Team. Vant Hof ...
Daily JetBlue service from Vero Beach to Boston and New York ends in December. That loss would normally signal trouble for a small Florida luxury market built on Northeast transplants. Instead, barrier island sales are up nearly 28 percent year over year, according to Ben Bryk, co-founding principal of Vero Premier Properties, the Signature Division ...
Three luxury high-rise projects are going up along the Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach waterfront: a Waldorf Astoria, a W Hotel property, and a Ritz-Carlton tower. For investors watching South Florida, this kind of branded development pipeline signals institutional confidence in a corridor’s future. But the opportunity these buildings represent requires a longer holding period ...
It sounds backward, but in New York’s Hudson Valley, paying a higher price for a home in good condition may cost less overall than buying a cheaper fixer-upper. Renovation costs have climbed so sharply that the discount on a home needing work often doesn’t cover the cost of fixing it. A higher purchase price can ...
