Las Vegas Market Update

If you’ve been keeping an eye on the Las Vegas real estate market, you’ve probably noticed something interesting happening lately. While single-family homes have always been the main focus, more buyers are starting to look up, literally. High-rise living is back in demand, and it’s easy to see why.

A Shift Toward a Buyer’s Market

Much like the broader Las Vegas market, the high-rise segment has shifted toward a buyer’s market over the past 12 to 18 months. With more inventory available, buyers now have greater flexibility and negotiation power. The average days on market currently sits around six months

The luxury high-rise condo segment had a strong third quarter in 2025: the region set a new record for average condo sale price at roughly…

Fort Lauderdale Has Grown Up

For decades, Fort Lauderdale lived in Miami's shadow. It was the quiet cousin that's now emerging in its own right. Somewhere between the cranes and catamarans, the city found its stride.

Today's Fort Lauderdale is a global yachting capital and a luxury high‑rise destination in its own right. It has become a living example of what happens when lifestyle and livability finally align.

The High‑Rise Transformation

Drive down Las Olas Boulevard and the transformation is unmistakable. The skyline now tells a new story. Glass towers rise above the marinas. Branded residences from the Four Seasons, Ritz‑Carlton, and St. Regis add a touch of luxury to the waterfront. Developers who once glanced past Fort Lauderdale now view it as South Florida's most…

Atlanta Buyers Are Embracing The "New Normal"

After eighteen months of uncertainty, hesitation, and higher mortgage rates, Atlanta's real estate rhythm is finally returning. The city's high-rise market, which cooled dramatically in early 2024, is beginning to move again. Not because of plunging rates or aggressive incentives, but because buyers have adjusted to reality.

As Jamie Sternlieb of Atlanta Communities put it during the October 8th roundtable, "Once people accept these rates as the new normal, activity returns."

It's not a boom. It's something better: a balanced awakening, where realistic buyers and prepared sellers are meeting in the middle again.

The Market Has Stopped Waiting for Permission

For much of the past year, both buyers and sellers were paralyzed by expectation.…

Why Houston’s High-Rises Can Actually Cost Less Than Houses

In Houston, the high-rise lifestyle is often dismissed as indulgent, a playground for executives or empty nesters sipping rooftop cocktails. But that perception is outdated. Beneath the surface of Houston's skyline, a financial truth is emerging which is that for many buyers, luxury high-rise condos actually cost less to own than traditional houses.

That's right. The city best known for sprawling lawns and two-car garages is producing data points that defy local logic. As Realtor® Kristina Houston explained in her recent market briefing, "When you factor maintenance, insurance, and time, high-rise living can actually cost less."

Why High-Rises Aren't Always Pricier

The sticker shock is real: $1 million for a high-rise condo versus $800,000 for a…

High-Rise, Mid-Rise or Traditional Condo?

Understanding the distinctions between high-rise, mid-rise, and traditional (low-rise) condos is key, as each offers a unique lifestyle and set of characteristics. These differences are primarily defined by height, location, amenities, views, and cost. Let's break down the differences between the three.

High-Rise Condos

High-rise condos typically feature buildings with nine or more stories, often ranging from 20 to 50 floors. They are commonly found in dense urban centers or resort areas, such as the Las Vegas Strip. These units frequently offer panoramic city or mountain views. Amenities are usually luxurious, often including valet parking, concierge services, fitness centers, pools, and robust security, and sometimes even on-site restaurants…

Miami Pre-Con: Spotting 24-Month Risks & Protecting Deposits

Some buyers believe “If a Miami pre-con project hasn’t broken ground in two years, it’s doomed.” The truth is more nuanced. A few eventually move forward, but delays dramatically raise risk and shift the burden onto your deposits and timeline. The buyer’s question I hear most often is, “How do I know if my project is real or stalling?” The answer lies in learning to separate slow-but-serious from likely-to-stall, and in structuring your contract so you’re protected either way.

The 3 Signals That Matter Most

Forget renderings. Investigate the machine behind them.

Money in place: A closed, recorded construction loan, signed GC contract, and visible mobilization are green lights. “Lender engaged” or “GC selected” is yellow. No lender named, rising…

The Pearl District is Priced to Move

Ask a Portlander where the easy urban life is and they’ll point you to The Pearl: flat, walkable blocks stitched with parks, cafés, galleries, some of Portland's most popular shops and the Streetcar. Ask a real estate broker like me where buyers have leverage right now and you’ll hear the same answer: The Pearl. That’s the paradox. Portland’s most lifestyle-rich neighborhood is also carrying the deepest inventory, and that imbalance quietly shifts power from seller to buyer. 

Why Buyers Have Leverage

The Pearl has the highest concentration of Portland high-rise condos, many of them built after 2006. More doors mean more choices, which translates into more negotiating room for buyers. Buyers will still pay premiums for the highest floors with views…

Why Boston’s Seaport Wins Buyers With Lifestyle + Views

The line you hear from Boston loyalists is predictable: “Back Bay is Boston.” True until a buyer actually tours the Seaport. In a city famous for brownstones and brick, the Seaport flips the script: new neighborhood, modern towers, walk-to-water living, and enough dining and culture to make even Back Bay devotees raise an eyebrow. It’s less than two decades old in a 400-year-old city, and it’s acting like the headliner.

Here’s the buyer strategy, the building logic, and the negotiation math for choosing Seaport over Boston’s historic heavyweights or sticking with tradition.

When you’re weighing neighborhoods in Boston, the fear of regret is real. No one wants to choose convenience today and realize five years later they sacrificed character. Or…
