Real Estate Market Trends

If you're like a lot of other consumers, trite slogans and marketing come- ons aren't convincing. Especially when it comes to the most expensive investment you may ever make; numbers are far pithier.


Think about it -- which of these is of more value to you: “Now is the best time to buy or sell a house!” or “Real Estate Market Report for Yourtown, Yourstate?”


Not only is this section of ActiveRain chock full of up-to-date real estate market reports but market statistics and market trends as well. Best of all, they're written in plain English by the experts – those that actually work in these markets on a daily basis.

The Squeeze on Three-Bedroom Single Family Homes in Westchester County, NYIntroduction: Nestled just north of New York City, Westchester County offers a suburban haven with its leafy neighborhoods, and easy access to the city.

However, amid the allure of Westchester County, there's a growing concern: the scarcity of three-bedroom single-family homes. This shortage presents a significant challenge for prospective homebuyers and reflects broader trends in the real estate market.Why Three-Bedroom Homes Matter: Three-bedroom homes are the backbone of family living. They offer the space and flexibility that growing families need, accommodating parents, children, and perhaps even a home office or gues...

#7 Best City to Live in Maryland - Ocean CityThis is the final installment in the list of the top 7 cities to live in Maryland that was published by The World Atlas. The list, in no way, reflects the views of the author. I think we all have opinions as to what the best cities are and also what should constitute a best city.  So, the number 7 best city to live in Maryland is Ocean City. Ocean City only has 6,800 full-time residents, but during the summer it hosts between 320,000 - 345,000 people each weekend and up to 8 million visitors annually. Ocean City has always been a destination, somewhere you take the family for a week during the summer, a destination for students graduating from high school (a right of passage, as it were). Ocean City attracts many people to its vast array of e...
