This market has become a balancing act — buyers want relief on rates, while sellers are still dealing with limited competition in a lot of cities.

The latest housing numbers show the market still caught between higher mortgage rates and limited inventory, with sales activity slowing again in some parts of the country. Buyers are feeling affordability pressure, but many sellers are still benefiting from a shortage of available homes. That mix h...

Why buy early?: Some parents are purchasing homes for their children long before adulthood to lock in current prices and hedge against worsening affordability.

A growing number of parents are purchasing property for children still in elementary or middle school, aiming to secure housing before prices climb further. In one Australian case, parents spent over $500,000 on a two-bedroom apartment for a child under 12, a move echoed by U.S. families facing simi...

This unique product is only available for homeowners ages 62 and older, but it could provide the financial boost these seniors need to weather today's economic volatility while putting them back on a path toward regaining their financial freedom.

News in late April that the Federal Reserve was keeping interest rates on hold once again, and not proceeding with a rate cut that would benefit millions, wasn't unexpected.

Retirees also explore side hustles like house sitting and renting unused space, and overseas options such as Greece’s low-tax Golden Visa.

Average mortgage rates for second homes stand at about 7.03%, roughly 0.25% to 0.50% higher than primary residences.

All-white interiors had a long run, but home design is starting to feel warmer again across Canada and the U.S. Think natural wood, stone, textured fabrics, layered lighting, and colors that make a room feel comfortable instead of staged.
