Six cities in the southeast corner of the Phoenix metro are in a seller’s market. A short drive south, in Maricopa, inventory has accumulated to a degree that could take years to absorb. The difference has less to do with demand, which remains relatively healthy across both areas, and more to do with where new ...

Conventional wisdom says spring is when you sell a house. The flowers are blooming, the yard looks its best, and buyers are out in force. But in northern New Jersey, where inventory has been well below normal for years, waiting for April or May means walking into the heaviest competition of the year. Julia Gaffney, ...

If you own a rental property in Phoenix — or you’re thinking about buying one — the market today looks very different from even a year ago. Rents are down in some neighborhoods, vacancies are up, and landlords are offering concessions to fill units. But the picture varies depending on where you are and what ...

Vacancy rates above 12%, negative rent growth in several submarkets, and a widening gap between buyer and seller expectations are forcing a recalibration across the Phoenix multifamily market.

Spokane’s residential market has settled into a pattern that rewards discipline and punishes nostalgia. Sellers who list based on what they remember from a few years ago – when homes drew multiple offers within days – are finding that the market has moved on without them, according to Kim Hagel-Barkley of The Barkley Group in ...

The gap between Houston’s residential market and its coastal neighbor shows what happens when short-term rental speculation meets a correction. Harris County, Texas, currently has roughly six months of housing inventory – enough to classify it as a balanced-to-soft market where sellers need to price carefully and present homes in strong condition. But the sharper ...

The U.S. rental market built aggressively during the pandemic era, particularly in Sunbelt cities like Nashville, Austin, and Dallas. Now much of that new inventory, especially high-end apartments, is sitting partially empty, competing for renters whose budgets have tightened considerably since construction began. The disconnect is straightforward: developers built expensive Class A apartments in markets ...

For buyers waiting on the largest purchase of their lives, the appraisal process is one of the last black boxes in a home purchase.
