A year ago, the biggest hurdle for a first-time buyer in northern New Jersey was getting an offer accepted. Today, the real breaking point has moved later in the process, to the home inspection. That shift hits first-time buyers harder than anyone else in the market. Augie Neno, Owner/Broker at Neno-Rosa Agency in Kearny, New […]
Sellers preparing to list homes in central Pennsylvania may be spending money on the wrong upgrades. Millennial buyers between 30 and 45, the largest active cohort in the Harrisburg-area market, are not chasing high-end finishes, according to Maryssa Chaplin of the Chaplin Group at Keller Williams of Central PA. They care far more about structural […]
Housing inventory across much of the country has climbed to levels not seen in four years. For buyers, that looks like relief after years of bidding wars and razor-thin selection. But the supply gain is a side effect of suppressed demand, not a surge in new listings, and if mortgage rates decline enough to bring […]
The agent a chatbot surfaces when someone types “best real estate agent near me” into ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Google’s AI Overview is not necessarily the most experienced or the most active in that zip code. That agent may simply have a website built to be readable by a large language model. The gap between “AI-recommended” […]
For most of the past decade, the largest self-storage developers deployed capital by building new facilities. Today, that calculation has evolved into an attractive new opportunity. According to Tom de Jong, Executive Vice President at Colliers, many of the industry’s biggest players are increasingly acquiring existing portfolios, because buying now offers compelling value relative to […]
The conventional image of coworking expansion involves planting flags in as many cities as possible. For operators managing multiple flexible workspace locations across Florida, Texas, and Georgia, the math points in a different direction: density within a market matters more than breadth across markets. Kevin Priddy leads Priddy Spaces, a holding company operating 12 coworking […]
Over the past two years, cities and states have passed roughly 250 zoning rule changes and nearly 180 state-level housing laws aimed at loosening the restrictions that once made it illegal to build more than one home on a lot. The stated goal is to chip away at the “missing middle,” the housing stock between […]
In a wobbly economy, small cost differences start to matter. In Pittsburgh, the gap between city and suburban tax rates has become large enough to redirect buyer behavior, and agents working across Allegheny County are watching demand shift accordingly. The city of Pittsburgh levies a 3% local income tax and a 5% transfer tax on […]
For years, real estate professionals have treated search engine optimization as the primary way to attract online leads. Build a website, optimize for keywords, maintain an IDX feed, and wait for Google to do its work. That playbook is now incomplete. A growing share of consumer queries, particularly the kind that begin with “who’s the […]
A town of 32,000 people should not have trouble keeping homes on the market. But in Pekin, Illinois, a community about 20 minutes from Peoria, only 67 residential listings were active as of September 2026. In a typical year, that number would sit between 180 and 200. A year and a half ago, it dropped […]
A home on Chicago’s West Side that went under contract in 30 to 40 days three years ago now takes two to three months, according to Esther Gonzalez, a listing agent with Solaris Enterprises Inc. (doing business as Solaris Real Estate). The properties haven’t changed. Neither have the asking prices. What changed is the cost […]
Builders in North Texas are offering interest rates near 4.9% and design-center credits worth $60,000 to $80,000, according to Heather Gill, a residential agent with eXp Realty who has worked the North Texas market for nearly a decade. For resale homeowners trying to sell in the same corridors, that competition is creating a pricing problem […]
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, […]
In a county where the median age is 57 and a third of deals close in cash, property type now determines whether a sale closes in weeks or stalls for months. Single-family homes in Citrus County, Florida, are trading steadily, with prices ticking up a few percentage points year over year, according to Bruce Brunk, […]
The free LandBriefing section scores 10 mountain resort and gateway markets, including four towns at the base of Vail-owned mountains, on momentum, catalysts, workforce housing, and land scarcity. A companion data feature, The Gateway Index, will follow the towns around Vail’s smaller mountains on Danski and Build. LOS ANGELES, September, 2026. Real estate developer and […]
Albuquerque firm opens Orlando office, begins hiring for four roles, and names An Elite Placement as its retained recruiting partner ORLANDO, Fla., September, 2026 / Dissonant Capital LLC, a vertically integrated real estate investment platform headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, today announced its public launch at dissonantcapital.com. The firm screens U.S. markets for population growth, […]
The phrase “ski-in, ski-out” carries an obvious appeal, and buyers arriving in Vail, Colorado, often assume it is both the goal and the norm. It is neither. True ski-in, ski-out is one of the rarest things in town, and the reason has less to do with price than with how the town and the mountain […]
A mixed-use building is usually bought as an apartment building with some retail attached. The residential units drive the model; the comparables are residential, and the commercial space at street level is treated as a supplementary line. In urban Honolulu, that framing understates the ground floor on two counts – what it contributes directly, and […]
Austin’s widely cited year-over-year price decline of roughly 20 percent aggregates dozens of submarkets with vastly different fundamentals, and the distortion may be costing investors who rely on metro-wide data to evaluate opportunities, according to Nitin Kumar, an agent with eXp Realty who was the brokerage’s top-producing agent nationally by homes sold last year. In […]
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 […]
Buyers entering the Boulder, Colorado real estate market expecting a relaxed pace are getting a different experience. Despite national headlines about sluggish activity, well-priced listings in the Front Range market are generating enough competition that some first-time buyers cycle through multiple contracts before securing a property, not because they are being outbid every time, but […]
The Dallas–Fort Worth housing market is often discussed in aggregate, but the headline numbers conceal a more specific problem: buyers and sellers are stuck in a standoff driven by mismatched expectations, and the standoff plays out differently from one neighborhood to the next. Kristyn Fuston, a residential agent with eXp Realty who focuses on VA […]
Philadelphia’s median sale price continues to inch up one to two percent annually across most zip codes, a statistic that suggests a stable, readable market. For investors entering the city’s fix-and-flip space, that number is misleading. According to Aziz Dali, a real estate investor and agent at Realty Mark Cityscape who has completed close to […]
The gap between what entry-level buyers in Maine can afford and what the housing stock actually offers is not a matter of timing or interest rates. It is a supply problem with no clear solution on the horizon, and it is reshaping how families in the state approach homeownership altogether, according to Josh Cousineau, who […]
Austin’s luxury real estate market has developed an unusual split. Properties priced above $5 million are attracting buyers and moving relatively quickly, while homes in the $1.5 million to $3 million range are taking longer to sell. That inversion, where the top of the market outpaces the tier just below it, reflects something specific about […]
New Orleans doesn’t have much room to grow outward. Surrounded by water and constrained by geography, the metro can’t absorb demand the way Houston or Phoenix can through suburban expansion. That physical limitation shapes nearly everything about how the market behaves, from where prices move to which neighborhoods attract new interest. It also means that […]
The Tampa Bay housing market absorbed one of the country’s largest pandemic-era population surges. Prices climbed sharply as out-of-state buyers competed for limited inventory. Now the correction is underway, and it is not just pushing prices down. It is changing which properties sell, which neighborhoods hold value, and what buyers are willing to tolerate in […]
Two vacant lots on Beverly Drive in Highland Park recently sold for $5.5 million each, side by side. A two-year-old home on just under an acre is coming to market at nearly $32 million in a neighborhood with no views and no mountains. The numbers sound like coastal pricing, but this is Dallas, and the […]
A real estate market where sales, prices, and shrinking inventory all point upward should be one where homes sell faster. In the Florida Keys, the opposite is happening. Through the first eight months of 2026, sales across every Keys submarket are up 11% year over year, according to Lisa Ferringo, who leads the Lisa Ferringo […]
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 […]
Homes in the Ozarks region used to sell in under 20 days. Average days on market have now climbed to roughly 90, a shift that arrived within the past 30 to 45 days and is reshaping how both buyers and investors deploy capital across the state, according to Rachel Countryman, a real estate professional with […]
The industrial real estate market across the western United States has absorbed a wave of post-pandemic construction, but not evenly. Large-format warehouses and distribution buildings drove both headline capital flows and elevated vacancy in markets from Seattle to Phoenix. One segment, however, has been largely absent from the construction pipeline: small and mid-bay multi-tenant industrial […]
For the first time in roughly five years, some homes in the western suburbs of Chicago are sitting on the market for more than a couple of weeks. In a region where single-family inventory stands at about a month and a half of supply, a quarter of the six months typically considered a balanced market, […]
In the Dallas-Fort Worth residential market, buyers who have been priced out of new construction over the past 12 to 24 months are now shopping at lower price points, but arriving with the same expectations for quality and finish. The result, according to Cisco Gonzalez, a listing agent at Maverick Real Estate Group brokered by […]
The south suburbs of Chicago offer some of the most affordable housing in the broader metro area. But that affordability comes with an asterisk: property taxes high enough to reshape buying decisions, push investors toward the exits, and force first-time buyers into a narrower set of viable neighborhoods than listing prices alone would suggest. That […]
In most Texas metros, the conversation about housing affordability centers on rising prices. In San Antonio, the pressure is coming from a different direction: pre-owned homes are sitting unsold while builders undercut them on price, financing, and condition, according to Katie Powers, a team lead and broker with the Lifestyles of San Antonio team. The […]
Developers and operators across the U.S. have historically treated interior design as one of the last line items in a project budget, something applied after the structural and financial decisions were already made. That hierarchy is under pressure. Construction financing has gotten more expensive: 30-year construction loan rates have hovered near 6.5 percent through 2026, […]
Seattle has spent the past several years trying to make it easier to build an accessory dwelling unit. The city’s ADUniverse library of pre-approved backyard-cottage plans can cut permit review time to as little as two to six weeks, down from several months for a fully custom design, and the city has continued loosening zoning […]
For years, the mortgage industry’s affordability conversation has centered on one variable: interest rates. When rates fall, more buyers qualify. When they rise, the pool shrinks. That framework is increasingly incomplete. Rising insurance costs and elevated consumer debt loads, built up over several years of a difficult borrowing and cost-of-living environment, are creating qualification barriers […]
Coworking has a branding problem. Most people still picture the same image: an open room, a bunch of shared desks, maybe a ping-pong table. But according to Jerome Chang, founder of Los Angeles-based BLANKSPACES, that picture stopped being accurate years ago. Coworking, he said, has grown up, and it now spans everything from bare-bones hot […]
Kaufman & Company founder says workforce housing belongs in the site plan for AI infrastructure, as communities in Utah and El Paso push back on new data center campuses LOS ANGELES (Sept., 2026) Investor Daniel Kaufman, founder of the permanent capital holding company Kaufman & Company, said Wednesday that America’s spending on computing now outpacing […]
Annual home sales in Madison, New Jersey, have shifted from a consistent 180 to 190 transactions per year to roughly 120 to 130, according to local agent Scott Spelker. The driver, he explains, is not a passing cycle but a structural supply picture rooted in one simple reality – the area is largely built out, […]
Homeowners who secured pandemic-era mortgage rates have a clear reason to stay put: moving would add roughly $1 million in interest over the life of a 30-year loan. Proposed legislation to let borrowers carry those low rates to new properties has drawn congressional attention, and the financial mechanics of unwinding mortgage-backed securities will shape how […]
Homeowners in Beaverton, Oregon, weighing whether to list this year are running into a market that has changed shape over the past few years. According to Carey Hughes Homes, a residential real estate team with 26 years of experience in the Beaverton and Portland metro area, the honest answer depends on both the numbers and […]
There is a moment that Bill Melnick has watched happen often enough that he has come to expect it. A buyer arrives in Salisbury, Connecticut for a specific reason: a child starting at Hotchkiss, a lake house they have been thinking about for years, a farmhouse they saw online and could not stop thinking about. […]
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 […]
For years, lakefront real estate around Anderson, South Carolina ran on a straightforward formula: limited shoreline, steady inbound migration, and prices that moved in one direction. That formula has fractured. Persistent drought, a federal infrastructure decision that will keep Lake Hartwell’s water levels suppressed for up to a decade, and a glut of new construction […]
Homeowners renovating in London still default to a simple metric: square footage added, value gained. But that shorthand is increasingly unreliable. Analysis of London property values shows the amount a given square meter is worth varies sharply across the city, meaning a flat per-square-foot formula fails as soon as it’s applied to a specific street […]
Six months ago, homes in and around Jamestown, New York were moving fast regardless of price. That’s no longer the case. A clear divide has emerged: properties listed under $150,000 are still attracting quick offers, while homes above that threshold, including rural listings with acreage that would have sold rapidly earlier this year, are sitting […]
The Dallas-Fort Worth housing market is sorting transactions along a single axis: pricing accuracy. Properties listed at market value are moving in under two weeks across a wide range of price points, according to Katherine Hubbard, broker at DFW 1% Listings LLC. Properties listed above market value, often by sellers still anchored to the conditions […]
The Austin housing market spent years as one of the hottest in the country. Now sellers accustomed to fielding dozens of offers are adjusting to a market where buyers have leverage and new construction is setting the terms. According to Laura Ivy Blessing, who leads the Blessed Life Group in Austin and has more than […]
North Carolina’s Research Triangle has ranked among the country’s top relocation destinations for decades, but growth pushing northward into Franklin County, now the second-fastest-growing of the state’s 100 counties, is reshaping the luxury housing market in this part of the state. The buyers arriving are not shopping for production homes in master-planned communities. They are […]
The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex has roughly four months of housing inventory, enough to tip conditions firmly in buyers’ favor after the seller-dominated stretch of 2022 and 2023. For first-time buyers, that shift has opened a window that did not exist two years ago: sellers willing to contribute to closing costs, combined with grant-based down payment […]
In a county where land for new construction is increasingly scarce, and supply sits below three months, it might seem like any well-maintained home would sell quickly. But in Orange County, California, a subtler sorting mechanism is separating homes that move in 30 days from those that sit for three months. The difference often comes […]
Senior homeowners across the country have more choices than ever when deciding whether and how to sell the home they have lived in for decades. According to Bryan Devore, Lead Real Estate Agent at Devore Realty Group, one of the most valuable things a professional can offer seniors is clear, honest education so they can […]
The financial case for pre-sale renovation is compelling, and for many aging homeowners it can add meaningful value. At the same time, for seniors managing health considerations and firm move-in dates, aligning a 30-day construction window with personal timelines is what turns a strong return into a genuinely great outcome. The Numbers That Make Renovation […]
Second-home buyers searching in Lake Placid, New York, often assume that a higher price means a slower sale. Recent market data tells a different story. According to Chase Jermano of Tina Leonard Real Estate, LLC, two price bands in Lake Placid are moving within weeks, while the ranges on either side of them are sitting […]
Active single-family listings in Rochester, Minnesota, have climbed from roughly 330 to 522 in eighteen months, according to Alex Mayer of Rochester Area Homes by Alex. Statewide, Minnesota inventory has risen 31 percent. The standard explanation points to rate lock finally loosening. Mayer sees something more fundamental encouraging sellers to list: the homes they bought […]
A mechanics lien in New York can freeze a property’s title with surprisingly little paperwork, but according to Alexander Paykin, Esq., founder of Paykin Law, a New York real estate and commercial litigation firm, that ease of filing is exactly why so many liens fall apart once they’re challenged. Paykin says the pattern he sees […]
The court process designed to resolve co-ownership disputes, known as a partition action, can run for years, which is exactly why understanding it early gives co-owners such a valuable advantage. When owners know how the process works, they can make confident, informed choices that protect the equity they share. According to Alexander Paykin, Managing Broker […]
Stories about development projects travel quickly on social media, and getting accurate information into that conversation early can shape where major projects take root. One developer says that timing has become a defining factor in where projects move forward, and how communities benefit from them. How Engagement Shapes the Conversation Daniel Kaufman, Founder/CEO of Kaufman […]
Data center development moves most smoothly when a project can stand on its own resources. One developer’s El Paso site does exactly that-generating its own power and drawing from a private aquifer-so the project adds to shared water and power capacity rather than depending on it. When Site Selection Leads the Way Daniel Kaufman, Founder/CEO […]
The real estate industry rewards agents when deals close, yet some of the most valuable work an agent does happens well before a signature. Advising a buyer on true costs, flagging hidden details, and guiding a seller toward the strongest offer are the quiet decisions that build trust and lasting relationships. The Value That Adds […]
Buyers purchasing second homes in the Adirondacks get the best long-term results when they choose a lake based on how they actually plan to use the water, rather than a town’s reputation alone. According to Chase Jermano of Tina Leonard Real Estate, LLC, aligning buyer activity preferences with lake characteristics is one of the most […]
The Austin metro grew faster than any other major U.S. market from 2010 to 2022, according to Ahmad Homidi, a real estate agent with eXp Realty who focuses on new construction in the North Austin corridor. That pace has slowed, but the development pipeline in the northern and western suburbs has not shut off, and […]
Buildings that broke ground during the low-rate environment of 2020 to 2022 are completing at once. The resulting inventory surge is pressuring landlords who expected to hold pricing power. Philadelphia’s rental market is absorbing this wave of new apartment inventory. Developers set it in motion years ago, when they locked in favorable financing during the […]
In Chicago’s south and west suburbs, the typical distressed seller no longer fits the familiar profile. These homeowners are current on their mortgages. They haven’t lost jobs or taken on reckless debt. The pressure forcing them out is the property tax bill. Rising insurance premiums and HOA fees have compounded the problem, according to Aaron […]
In central Collin County, Texas, homes priced between $1.3 million and $1.6 million sold briskly during the 2020–2022 run-up. Now they linger on the market. The reason is not poor condition or weak marketing. The buyer who once dominated that price band has disappeared from both directions. When the Middle Disappears According to Sean Elliott, […]
Roughly one-third of residential inventory in Manhattan does not sell on its initial listing and instead cycles through multiple brokers, according to Nikolay Afanasyev, Founder and CEO of City Sphere Property Group, a boutique brokerage covering Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn. Afanasyev attributes the pattern primarily to sellers pricing properties above what the market will […]
A financing tool long reserved for community facilities has, according to one tribal housing official, been applied to tribal residential housing for what she describes as the first time. This could offset 20 to 25% of total project costs for tribes facing severe housing shortages and limited access to conventional capital. Alexandra Terry, Deputy Director […]
Rents in Chicago’s multifamily market are rising faster than in any other major U.S. market, according to Lawrence Dunning, a broker with The Dunning Team at Fulton Grace Realty. Yet buyers and sellers cannot agree on what buildings are worth. Rising construction costs and higher borrowing expenses have created a valuation standoff. Transaction volume is […]
Non-QM, short for non-qualified mortgage, refers to home loans that do not meet the strict criteria set by government-backed programs like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Real estate investors often use this category when their income doesn’t fit conventional underwriting molds. Most non-QM investment loans are underwritten on a single question: does the property’s rental […]
In a Chambersburg-area neighborhood where homes sell for $800,000 and above, one family bought a property for just over $400,000. The discount had nothing to do with location or structural problems. The home was missing a deck. That gap between purchase price and neighborhood ceiling illustrates a pattern Sally Chaplin, of The Chaplin Group, and […]
Washington, D.C. has two property markets operating under entirely different rules, sometimes within the same zip code. Upper northwest single-family homes are selling quickly while urban condos sit unsold for months, according to David Bediz, Founder and Team Leader of Bediz Group, LLC. The divergence has less to do with price than with who the […]
Milford. Michigan – September 22, 2026 – Tovel AI today launched the Tovel AI Card, a pocket-sized recorder and companion app that captures calls, meetings, and in-person conversations and prepares the resulting follow-up work: CRM records, calendar events, tasks, and contacts for a user to review and approve before any of it is created. The […]
Manhattan relocators and first-time buyers are closing on properties in Queens and neighboring boroughs at prices that contradict the assumption that homeownership in New York City is out of reach. That’s true, but only when buyers look past the city’s most expensive zip codes. Most people outside New York City assume buying a home there […]
Homes in Philadelphia are taking longer to sell even though housing supply remains limited. The problem isn’t a supply glut. It’s a deepening mismatch between what buyers can afford and what sellers are asking. According to Alona Richardson, a Realtor at OCF Realty LLC, the disconnect is sharpest in the middle of the market, where […]
Military relocation buyers are moving steadily into the Katy and western Houston suburbs, and most agents on both sides of these transactions are underprepared for what that means, according to Niky Barker, Team Leader & REALTOR at Barker Group, Keller Williams Signature. The financing mechanics are specialized, the timelines are compressed, and the stakes for […]
Investor-renovated homes near downtown San Antonio are sitting unsold for months. The problem isn’t poor renovations or bad pricing. Too many investors targeted the same neighborhoods at the same time. According to Janet Wingrove, team lead and co-founder of Empire Real Estate Team at Keller Williams Heritage, areas that once looked like strong gentrification opportunities […]
Land investors have historically had two options: buy raw acreage and wait years for appreciation, or skip the asset class because of the carrying costs. That binary is changing. As lending standards tighten and interest rates stay elevated, a growing share of land transactions are structured so the seller, not a bank, acts as the […]
When most real estate professionals prospect for luxury buyers, they picture corporate executives, finance professionals, or retirees with accumulated investment portfolios. That mental model misses an emerging, highly localized buyer segment. According to Ben Bryk, Co-Founding Principal at Vero Premier Properties, a Signature Division of Coldwell Banker Global Luxury, this segment was created not by […]
While luxury condos and Class A multifamily properties dominate Miami’s real estate headlines, a different investment strategy is generating stronger returns for investors in the region. Lawrence Resnick is a Realtor at The Paz Group who focuses on commercial and multifamily transactions across Miami-Dade and Broward County. He says the properties producing the best yields […]
Houston’s median sales price ranges from $324,000 to $342,000. These figures suggest a stable, affordable market compared to Austin, Dallas, or coastal metros. But according to Pedro Iznaga, Senior Agent at Redfin Corporation, those numbers hide a more complicated picture. The market doesn’t behave as one entity. It behaves as dozens of distinct micro-markets, each […]
For a $50 million construction project, procuring materials typically takes two to three months. For projects in the $1 billion to $2 billion range, procurement alone can consume half a year. In most industries, a supply chain bottleneck of that duration would be treated as a crisis. In construction, it is treated as normal. The […]
Some sellers in one of the most aggressively developed corridors in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) cannot move without absorbing significant losses. According to one North Texas agent, this is a consequence of growth that outpaced demand. Collin County was among the most sought-after destinations in North Texas during the pandemic-era housing surge, with new subdivisions expanding […]
Most people shopping for a home start with a mortgage calculator. They plug in a price, a down payment, and an interest rate, and out comes a monthly payment. In Texas, that number is often wrong, sometimes by hundreds of dollars a month, and buyers don’t find out until they’re already deep into a transaction. […]
There’s a version of selling a home that most people are familiar with: call an agent, sign the paperwork, get the photos taken, go live on the MLS, and wait. And then there’s the version that’s actually working in Fairfield County right now. Kristin Egmont, a Connecticut real estate agent with more than 20 years […]
When real estate investors go looking for financing, many default to a single mental category: hard money. It’s the fastest option, the most familiar term, and often the first one that comes up in a search or a referral. But “hard money” describes a type of loan, not a type of relationship, and the difference […]
The recognition highlights Sasomsup’s perspective on Los Angeles landlord-tenant law and the accidental landlords navigating it, as KeyCrew deepens its coverage of the region’s property management market. LOS ANGELES, Calif., September, 2026 — KeyCrew Media, the expert-first real estate media company, has recognized Jesse Sasomsup, founder of Earnest Holmes Property Management, as an Expert Source […]
Evicting a tenant in Los Angeles, California is rarely as simple as posting a notice and heading to court. According to Jesse Sasomsup, founder of Earnest Holmes Property Management, the process has become so layered with notice requirements and local rules that even attorneys who specialize in the work say it is hard to keep […]
Most people who end up renting out a home in Los Angeles, California never planned to become landlords. They inherited a house from a parent, took a job in another state, or simply outgrew the home as their family grew. According to Jesse Sasomsup, founder of Earnest Holmes Property Management, that pattern describes roughly 90 […]
The recognition highlights Baroni’s work guiding out-of-state buyers, including a steady pipeline of relocations from Chicago and South Florida to homes across the Tampa Bay to Orlando corridor. TAMPA, Fla., September, 2026 – KeyCrew Media, the expert-first real estate media company, has named Tony Baroni of the Tony Baroni Team, Keller Williams, an expert source […]
Focusing each showing day on a manageable number of properties helps clients make their strongest decisions at the most critical moment of the purchase process. How Focused Showings Support Better Decisions In residential real estate, the instinct to show buyers as many properties as possible is deeply ingrained. More options signal thoroughness, and a packed […]
A pending ballot measure could meaningfully lower property tax obligations for Florida homeowners, strengthening the state’s financial appeal for out-of-state buyers already considering a move. A Tax Story Worth Sharing Florida’s reputation as a low-tax destination rests on one well-known fact: the state has no income tax. That advantage has fueled migration for years, particularly […]
For years, landowners along the I-49 corridor south of Kansas City priced their parcels using agricultural or light industrial comps from other submarkets, since no local industrial outdoor storage transactions existed to reference. A single closed transaction in Raymore is giving them a clearer, more accurate benchmark that better reflects what IOS demand can support, […]
While Park City’s highest-end properties continue to draw strong lifestyle-driven demand, sellers in the $1–3 million range are meeting a more deliberate buyer pool shaped by financing considerations, and understanding what sets the two segments apart opens real opportunity. Two Markets Operating Under Different Rules Park City’s real estate market is neither uniformly slowing nor […]
In Park City’s luxury market, the difference between ski-in/ski-out access and an easement-dependent approach can be one of the largest variables in a property’s price per square foot, alongside factors like square footage, finishes, and views. A Price Gap Beyond Standard Comparisons According to Derrik Carlson, Resort Real Estate Advisor with REAL ESTATE IN PARK […]
Most loan officers building a referral pipeline make the same early decision: follow as many real estate agents as possible and hope volume turns into business. AgentBrief founder Mike Simon says that instinct is backward, and it’s one of the most common reasons a real-time data tool ends up underused. AgentBrief built its platform on […]
It is tempting, when a listing has sat for a few weeks with no offers, to assume the price is wrong. In many markets, that instinct is correct. But in military-dependent markets like Hampton Roads, Virginia, a stale late-summer listing may not be a pricing problem – it may be a calendar problem, according to […]
In the western suburbs of Chicago, homeowners who list above market value, banking on the idea that a motivated buyer will negotiate down, are not just sitting on stale listings. According to Michael Berg, a broker covering DuPage County and parts of Cook County, those overpriced homes function as unpaid marketing for every competitively priced […]
