If you bought a flip a few months ago, started the rehab, and are now getting close to completion —what’s your move? Seems like the market has slowed down and things are staying on longer. If the house isn't selling, what would be the best plan of action? Would you: • Keep lowering the price and ...
Since 2022, Bay Area multifamily prices have dropped by roughly 25%. With the Fed currently in another rate-hike cycle, asset prices face continued downward pressure. Given this environment, which strategy would you choose? Option A (Execute Now): Acquire a value-add property in a premium Bay Are...
Supply, policy and carrying costs are all shifting at once, and the picture looks very different on a national map than it does inside New York's five boroughs. The Apartment Pipeline Is More Concentrated Than Metro Data Suggests Apartment construction may look broadly distributed on a metro map,...
China is giving first-time homebuyers a mortgage subsidy. Starting October 1, China is introducing a new program designed to make homeownership more affordable for qualifying first-time buyers. Instead of giving buyers cash toward their down payment, the government will help ubsidize a portion of...
We’re into the Q4 market and here's where things stand in the Knoxville Metro as September ends. Knox County home sales decreased 1.5% in Sept from 2025. We're also up in total inventory so sales would otherwise be relatively flat given the increase in listings. The median sale price was $402,588...
A week ago the conversation was about how many more hikes were coming. This week's data flipped that pretty quickly but I wouldn't overreact in either direction. Inflation Is Softer Than the Headline August PCE came in at 3.4% annually against a 3.7% forecast, and core PCE held at 3% against 3.3%...
What housing shortage? U.S. Housing Supply Is Nearly Back to Pre-Pandemic Levels. There were 1.16 million homes for sale in September. Up 101% from the 2021 low. Just 5% below pre-pandemic levels. And the trend is still moving in the direction of more supply. Let me say this before I get jumped a...
Does anybody see the potential of investing in multifamily homes near construction sites like LNG plants, Data centers, etc? I live in lake Charles where there's major projects like these all around the city and surrounding city's bringing in tons of people to smaller towns. Looking for someone t...
I got a call yesterday - lady 17 months behind on mortgage. Everyone on my Facebook would have locked it up, posted "Investor Special - $5k non-refundable - Assignable Contract - 30 day close" and prayed. I ran it. The opportunity was too tight for MY buy box, so I politely declined and referred ...
How ya'll feeling about rates going up over 7%? You dealing with it, or still praying they're gonna go back down to the 3's?
Hey everyone, my name is Dillon and I am 23 years old looking to buy my first property in the next few months. My plan is to house hack and I am looking to buy a 2-4 unit property. I realize appreciation among many other things plays a big part in how you analyze deals and make an informed decisi...
Everybody's talking about the K-shaped economy: the top doing great while the bottom gets squeezed. You can see a version of it in Louisville housing right now. I pulled single-family sales in Jefferson County (Louisville) from our MLS for the last 90 days and compared them to what's sitting on t...

A pattern I keep seeing with Massachusetts investors: the offer is strong, the numbers work, and the deal still goes to someone else because the seller didn't believe the financing would close on time. In competitive pockets, certainty of close often matters more than a slightly higher price or a...
We constantly hear that housing in Worcester is becoming too expensive and that prices are climbing too fast. While the rapid shift is undoubtedly challenging for many residents, a fundamental question remains: Is housing in Worcester actually overpriced, or is the root problem tied to local wage...
Rates were higher in 1996 and deals still penciled. Where do the numbers stop making sense today? We keep hearing "7% is historically normal, quit complaining." That's true. The 30-year averaged about 7.8% in 1996, and it's 6.95% this week. In 1996 the median house (year I bought my first house) ...
I've been tracking the Freddie Mac PMMS data and MBA application shares for 2026, and I wanted to share a clean snapshot with the BiggerPockets community. **Current Market Data (24 Sep 2026):** • 30-Year Fixed: 7.03% • 15-Year Fixed: 6.42% • Refinance Share: 39.3% • ARM Share: 9.8% • FHA Share: 1...
The Fed moved rates again, but watching the Fed alone will give real estate investors an incomplete picture. There are really two clocks. Clock one is short-term money. Bridge debt, construction financing, fix-and-flip capital and other shorter-duration products can react quickly to changes in sh...
Two things happened last week that most people read separately. Put together, they make a pretty clear case against waiting for the market to get cheaper. The Hike Might Not Be a One and Done The Fed raised 25 basis points on September 16. What changed last week is that officials started telling ...
The market seems to be cooling rapidly. I'm seeing massive price drops of 5-10% where I have one property listed in Newtown CT and another listed in Milford that I just price dropped after 3 weeks with no offers. What's everyone else seeing in the Connecticut market? It shows up as a strong growi...

There is a little bit of a shift going on though within the industries and its important to be mindful of it. Information (tech) employment growth is declining and I a...
Are you seeing more investors buying, sitting on the sidelines, or becoming more selective with deals? What's the investor sentiment like in your market right now?
I have had interesting experiences investing in two separate markets that were heavily impacted by specific industries that tend to fluctuate. Resource extraction is always political and cyclical. One was a secondary oil town in west Texas and one was a mining town in northern Minnesota. Does any...
