You hear it all the time – the new home market is outperforming the resale market, thanks to incentives. And it's true! These incentives range from mortgage rate buydowns to flex dollars, funds for closing costs, and options and upgrades. Zonda is the only company that tracks new home incentives on a community-by-community basis across the country. Currently, most new home communities offer some kind of incentive. The map below shows how incentive usage varies by market – the deeper the purple, the higher the usage. Key stats: -The markets with the highest share of incentive usage are Sarasota, Jacksonville, and Tampa. Markets with the smallest share of incentive usage are New York, San Diego, and Seattle. -Homebuilders in Tampa, Jacksonville, and Cape Coral average the highest incentive dollar amount at ~3% of the local home price. Colorado Springs, Cincinnati, and New York average the smallest dollar amount of <1%. -Interestingly, nearly 80% of move-up/move-down projects offer incentives, higher than both entry-level and high-end totals. This surprised me at first, but it makes sense – those looking to move up have likely already locked in a low rate so may need financial assistance to feel comfortable selling their existing home.

Wow, 🤯. This city plans to BUY two of it’s #MobileHomeParks and then improve them with HUD grant money. $50 million to buy around 420 lots and improve them. 💰 “Officials in the presentation estimated a cost of $34.5 million to buy the land, $4.5 million to repair mobile homes, $500,000 to build storm shelters, ***$2 million for running the trust***, and $7 million for other improvements in the parks’ water, sewer and road infrastructure.” It’s amazing what type of budget you can put together when you don’t have to worry about generating a return on the investment…💭 #mobilehomeparkinvesting #trailerparkinvesting #manufacturedhousing #mobilehomepark #realestateinvesting https://lnkd.in/e7WprwHx

Times are tough for nearly every real estate business, but different parts of the country report unique challenges and approaches. Inman Intel’s monthly gauge of industry sentiment reveals interesting regional disparities. 1. Inventory Shortage: Agents in the Midwest and Northeast are facing tougher inventory shortages, with 33% and 44% respectively listing it as their top business concern. 2. Commission Splits: Ultra-high agent splits are less common in the Northeast. Only 4.5% of agents here have splits of 90/10 or above compared to 17.9% in the Midwest, 34.4% in the South, and 30.6% in the West. 3. Buyer’s Commission Queries: A significant share of clients in the West (35%) are questioning the necessity of covering the buyer’s commission, more than any other region. 4. Brokerage Switching Trends: The Northeast sees the highest percentage (12%) of agents nearly certain to switch brokerages within the next year, while the Midwest has the lowest (3%). Understanding these regional differences is crucial for strategizing in today’s challenging market. Dive deeper into the full regional breakdown and other key findings from the latest Inman Intel Index.

Helpful insight about the CRE Lending environment today at the CARW - Commercial Association of REALTORS Wisconsin Membership Meeting today. Takeaways: - Locally, despite national headlines, most loan portfolios are in a good position with very few troubled assets. - Lenders continue to emphasize, or require deposits by borrowers. Increasingly. - Documentation is increasingly critical. Debt is available, but a "complete file" matters for the best terms. - An increased focus on tenant financials as part of underwriting for investment opportunities. - Regulators are keeping watch, but local lenders are doing well as most were conservative with LTV. Loans maturing are eligible for refinance based on DCR often, due to income growth and conservative leverage. Borrowers might suffer with decreased cash flow due to a doubling in interest rates - but loans are available. - Generally a sense of optimism, with the election behind us and clarity in the market Rates forecasted lending rates flat, despite the federal rate likely to continue to decrease. However, an improvement as compared to an increasing rate environment. - Late 2025 will prove to be interesting, as loans from 2021 reach maturity (early 2026). - Lenders on the panel predicted a higher loan volume in 2025, as compared to 2024, despite 2024 being a successful year (and record breaking for some). Adam Newman shared feedback about Landmark Credit Union's success for retail lending and growth in the multi-family space - along with an increased allocation for construction financing. Rickey Shneyder of Crux Commercial Partners provided a broad perspective for sentiment by a number of different lender types, and success stories related to office lending. Also an interesting trend for lenders proactively contacting his firm to source deals and to meet lending goals. His remarks were great as speaking some truth, that others can't say (out loud). Dan Brandt estimated that 75% of volume by Old National Bank in WI was related to retail. I always enjoy his insight on structure, swaps, and an outlook. Bruce Elliott of Tri City National Bank emphasized a desire for loans for owner occupied investments, but an openness to loan on most every asset commercial asset class. Bill Suenkens of US Bank did a great job at keeping the conversation moving, as moderator. A great room for the discussion, provided by Irgens and a warm welcome by Jenna Maguire, Chairman of CARW.

I am leading a workshop at Modern Well in Minneapolis, MN next Monday, November 18th on Angel Investing. If you know someone needing to raise capital for their business between $250K - $5M, this may be helpful information. Happy to share what I've learned so far in this landscape of entrepreneurship, especially as it relates to real estate development, but the principals apply to all types of businesses when capital is holding you back from building your dreams. https://lnkd.in/gNQ-Q7J5

What a fantastic article spotlighting Detroit's real estate resurgence! The Wall Street Journal points out key factors like affordable housing, developer incentives, and infrastructure investments that have fueled this transformation. Moreover, it underscores the crucial role of community engagement and collaboration between public and private sectors in turning around the downward trend in real estate markets. https://bit.ly/4b7Gvhg.

Great report on housing and what is happening locally. There is little doubt that with 1) folks living longer, 2) less traditional families and more one parent households…creating a need for two roof tops vs one, 3) a large influx of people into this country seeking asylum (economic opportunity) and 4) Air BnB eating up 1% of housing stock and growing…that housing availability is a challenge. As demand grows and supply stays flat….prices will continue to push up for the foreseeable future.

Aspiring developers, remember this: your reputation is your most valuable asset. A clean balance sheet might look impressive, but it often means you haven’t taken the necessary risks. In this business, every company will face challenges—what matters is how you handle them. Lenders and equity partners don’t just underwrite your deals; they underwrite you. They want to know how you’ll show up when times get tough, when the unexpected happens. Will you step up and meet the challenges, or will you fold? Your reputation, built on how you navigate these moments, is what will sustain you in the long run. It’s worth more than any single deal or asset you can acquire.

There are appraisals, and then there are appraisals for HUD! These reports require higher level of detail and analysis to meet specific HUD appraisal requirements. Brad Moore, MAI has specialized in appraising these types of multi-family properties for many years. I often have to tip my cap reading through them. Not everyone has the bandwidth to bring these reports across the finish line. Simonson Appraisals was proud to provide valuation services for Colliers Mortgage on this 56-unit market rate cooperative. If you have any multi-family valuation needs requiring higher level of detail for financing, estate planning or litigation, feel free to reach out to learn more. #multifamily #appraisals #valuation #cre #HUD
