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...
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...
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...

Hi. I'll be periodically posting free, complete datasets of real estate listings in US cities. The datasets are compiled into an Excel file and contain comprehensive information about real estate listings, discounts, and other useful data. All data is collected exclusively from open sources.

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...
We often talk about "the Massachusetts market" as if it's one market. The data suggests it's becoming increasingly important to look at each region on its own. Bristol stands out for liquidity. Plymouth remains one of the Commonwealth's most balanced investment markets. Barnstable continues to co...
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...
As commercial interest reaches about 7%, more multifamilies may fail to refinanace and investor may hesitate to jump into the market. https://www.globest.com/2026/09/23/troubled-2021-apartment-loans-could-bring-more-distressed-sales?utm_source=email&utm_medium=enl&utm_campaign=nationalalert&utm_c...
Austin keeps growing. The stats show that the civilian labor force is now 1,568,800 according to BLS. And the unemployment is 4%. 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...
Suppose somebody offers me a property that produces almost no cash flow today. But the location is excellent. Development is moving that way. Land values have been rising. There may be redevelopment potential. Five or ten years from now, this thing could be worth considerably more. That's essenti...
As of July 24, 2026, Teller County has new requirements for properties served by an Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS), better known as a septic system. In most sales, the system now needs to be inspected and receive county approval as part of the Transfer of Title process (ToT). The inspe...

I track the Huntsville market obsessively — I live and flip here. I have a family renovation business and a background in data science (PhD molecular genetics — weird path, I know), so I built tools that systematically analyze every sold comp in the Tennessee Valley. Here's what 19,705 closed tra...
This plot of land used to have a home depot on it and is now owned by the city. Its now slated for apartments. It seems that the developers are needing gap financing. It also seems that Airbnb is doing gap financing. This is very interesting for several reasons. Why is Airbnb stepping into the fi...
