Most of Cincinnati’s housing was built before the 1930s. That used to be a selling point: charming Italianate architecture, walkable historic neighborhoods, character that newer suburbs couldn’t replicate. But that aging stock is now colliding with a harder insurance environment, rising material costs, and buyers who increasingly refuse to take on renovation work. The result, ...

The youth sports tourism industry has grown large enough to anchor entire mixed-use developments, not just stadiums or standalone facilities, but full districts of hotels, retail, restaurants, and multifamily housing built around tournament-capable venues. In Lebanon, Ohio, a development group is betting that a field sports facility focused on soccer and lacrosse can serve as ...

In Cleveland’s multifamily investment market, the frenzied pace of 2021 and 2022 has given way to something more measured. Properties that once drew multiple offers within days of listing are now sitting longer. Sellers who acquired buildings during the low-rate era are discovering that what they paid and what the market will bear today are ...

Investors who purchased Cleveland apartment buildings in 2021 or 2022 with 3% mortgages and top-of-market pricing now face a sale price gap they cannot close. Mortgage rates sit in the six-and-a-half-percent range, which means buyers today need higher cap rates to make the numbers work, and higher cap rates mean lower prices. Owners who stretched ...

For years, renting was understood as a temporary condition, something you did while you saved, while you waited, while you figured out where you wanted to land. Homeownership was the destination. Renting was the road. That framework is breaking down. Across the country, renters who expected to buy are staying put longer than they planned, ...

Mention Cleveland to most real estate investors and the reaction is predictable: affordable, stable, and unremarkable. That perception is increasingly out of step with what is actually happening on the ground. Inventory is tight, multiple-offer situations are common, and sellers who prepare their homes correctly are routinely exceeding asking prices by significant margins. For those ...

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 ...
