California needs roughly a million new homes a year. It is nowhere close. In the South Bay of Los Angeles – a pocket of LA County that includes Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, and El Segundo – the gap between what is needed and what is getting built may be widening. The obstacles are not just ...

Small investors eyeing Orange County often default to the most familiar playbook: buy a single-family home, rent it out, build equity over time. But at Orange County’s current entry-level prices – $1.5 million to $2 million for a starter-to-mid-range home, according to Kathy Thomson, a residential agent with eXp Realty who has worked across Orange ...

Fewer homes are changing hands in California right now, but the number of fights over the ones that do is not falling with them. Purchase and sale disputes, title fraud, and fire-related rebuilding conflicts are all landing on litigation desks with regularity, according to Zach Schorr, founder of Schorr Law, a Los Angeles litigation firm ...

Renovated properties are sitting on the market longer in many parts of the country, and that alone is enough to break the math that made fix-and-flip investing work. When a rehabbed home used to sell in weeks, the model tolerated thin margins and short holding costs. When it sits for months instead, carrying costs erode ...

In most housing markets, rising mortgage rates hit the top of the price ladder hardest. In the East Bay suburbs east of San Francisco, the pattern has reversed. Homes priced above $3 million are moving faster than those below $2 million – a dynamic shaped by Silicon Valley wealth and a deep base of high-earning ...

For two weeks earlier this year, 30-year mortgage rates dipped below 6% in the South Bay of Los Angeles. Multiple offers materialized on properties that otherwise would have sat, and homes sold for $50,000 to $100,000 over list price. Then geopolitical conflict pushed oil prices and rates back up, and the market cooled just as ...

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 ...

In most American markets, holding a property for ten or twelve years builds a cushion of equity. In Manhattan, that assumption no longer holds across large segments of the market, according to Nikolay Afanasyev, Founder & CEO of CITY SPHERE Property Group, a boutique brokerage covering Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. Rising building carrying costs, ...

For buyers waiting on the largest purchase of their lives, the appraisal process is one of the last black boxes in a home purchase. Turnaround time isn’t a single number; it’s the sum of scheduling, inspection, report production, quality review, and any revision cycles that follow, and thin appraiser panels and uncontrolled revision cycles are ...
