Buyers have a bit more breathing room to negotiate.Sales Activity Upward Tick: Closed listings across the Austin metro area saw a 5.9% increase compared to April 2023, indicating continued housing market activity.What Does This Mean?

Clearly I am not on every list of every syndicator, but there are definitely C- (in my opinion) assets in the riskiest parts of major metros being marketed as "low B", or maybe just not rated at all.At the end of the day, syndicators are generally going to call out all the positives they see in the deal.  

I'm pretty biased towards Metro Detroit for obvious reasons lol.

I'd look for areas on the outskirts where development has been happening.Well, it appears that the population of the entire Metro area is doing just fine.The housing market and rents continue to be very strong in the C class areas and up in Toledo proper, and quite hot in the surrounding suburbs.

I haven't seen that in Metro Atlanta Markets... or any major metro area.

However, the inventory is the piece that distinguishes different local markets from what I've seen in the Metro Atlanta area.https://www.realestatenews.com/2024/01/22/trends-2024-will-w...https://www.realestatenews.com/2024/01/19/inventory-tricklin...

However, you could make that budget work in surrounding cities (still within the Huntsville metro area) like Decatur, Hartselle, and Athens.

Hi Everyone,I'm a data scientist interested in buying out of state property, and it boggles me how difficult it is to find US-wide real estate market data at the metro/city-level. 

So the best-case scenario is to find a SFH with the right zoning (R2 in a lot of metros, or "TU" in Denver).Final thought on this: Biggest problem I see new homebuyers in Colorado make is not buying the wrong home; it's overthinking it and taking a year or more to buy (and losing equity in the meantime).

If you are in the Kansas City Metro area in specific, note that Overland Park is considering banning STR or creating a licensing program - I guess they have nothing right now.Kansas City Missouri's auditor told them to petition the state to change law so they can tax and fee as hotels and to make their licensing program more streamlined and easier to enforce as only 7% of STR are permitted.We have several articles on our REIA's blog.And no matter where you are, these are probably the same issues you may be facing as cities far and wide are working to limit STR as there is a shortage of regular rentals.
