Philadelphia’s office construction has hit pause—zero new projects in the city after a major 438K sq ft building wrapped up last quarter. The bottleneck? Hard to attract big tenants to sign leases before spaces are built. While downtown vacancy dipped below 20% and absorption saw a boost (thanks mostly to that one completed tower), overall available space is shrinking—driven by conversions and dwi...

Southern California’s condo market is in freefall, with sales down 25% year-over-year—the slowest pace in over 20 years.

Amendment Five could push sales taxes past 20% and let lawmakers expand taxes on homes and services without voter approval, while Amendment Four would make it harder for citizens to challe...

New York’s rent stabilization board just locked in a zero percent rent increase for all stabilized apartments — a move that’s sending shockwaves through the market, causing buyers to pull back and deals to collapse. While rent control laws have cooled the market since 2019, this full freeze represents the worst-case scenario for investors, who’ve seen property values plummet 40% since then. With l...

Nathan Berman, the developer behind Pfizer’s Midtown East office-to-apartment conversion, is reassuring investors after a major structural scare—bricks fell, floors sagged, and fire crews evacuated workers amid buckled columns.

Trump’s administration is shutting down a lifeline for New York City renters — emergency housing vouchers meant to become long-term support. Congress allocated $264 million for that transition, but HUD says it’s not obligated to issue replacement vouchers, opting instead for a short extension that still ends this year. Rising rents ate through funds faster than expected, leaving thousands without...

A major housing bill, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, narrowly passed Congress and could become law without President Trump’s signature—thanks to a 10-day veto clock.
