Image
How Bad Are Denver Office CMBS Delinquencies Right Now? How rapidly Denver office CMBS performance has deteriorated is reflected in a 27.2% delinquency rate. That is nearly triple the 10.6% national average. With $434 million distressed, Denver ranks sixth among major metros. Trepp data places Denver sixth among the 25 largest U.S. metros. This distress is also playing out amid a 36.8% vacancy rate in Denver’s office market as of Q2 2025. Delinquency Snapshot Atlanta, Chicago, and Philadelphia sit above 28%. Baltimore is 26.6%, and Portland leads at 38.4%. Seattle is 13.3%, Austin 8.3%, Nashville 2.8%, and San Diego remains under 1%. Nationally, office CMBS delinquency reached 12.34% in January 2026.

Pittsburgh Days on Market Climb to 47

Image
Pittsburgh Days on Market Now: 77 Median (Jan 2026) One number defines the latest slowdown in Pittsburgh housing. Redfin puts January 2026 median days on market at 77, with 29.3 percent selling within two weeks. Nationwide, active listings were up 10% year over year in January. Urgent Local Pricing Signals The median sale price is 229,000 and the average sale-to-list ratio is 96.1 percent. With mortgage rates around 6.7%, affordability pressures can keep buyers cautious even as listings rise.

San Diego Short-Term Rental Crackdown Tightens

Image
Which San Diego STRO License Tier Do You Need? How a property is rented in San Diego now determines the STRO license tier. It also determines whether a host can legally operate at all. Property classification and host residency set the lane. With 4.5% vacancy and sustained rental demand, some owners are reassessing whether to pursue short-term rentals or stick with long-term leasing. San Diego defines a short-term rental as a stay of fewer than 30 nights . Tier 1 and Tier 2 Tier 1 allows home share or whole-home rentals for 20 days or less per year. The host may be off-site. Tier 2 is home-sharing in a primary residence, including ADUs. It requires the host to stay on-site and live there 275 days annually. Tier 3 and Tier 4 Tier 3 applies to whole-home rentals outside Mission Beach for more than 20 days. It requires non-primary residence confirmation and is lottery capped. Tier 4 covers coastal and Mission Beach whole-home rentals. It is lottery capped, with none available. What Chang...

Philadelphia Multifamily Permits Decline

Image
Why Are Philadelphia Multifamily Permits Falling in 2024–2025? Although Philadelphia remains a high-demand renter market, multifamily permitting has retreated sharply in 2024 and into 2025 as the post-pandemic development cycle breaks. Tighter financing, higher rates, and fewer capital options are suppressing new project filings. Nationally, high interest rates are also contributing to volatility in multifamily construction. Zoning bottlenecks and labor shortages are extending timelines and pushing bids higher, which worsens project feasibility. In Q1 2025, construction starts were 84.2% below the five-year historical average for first-quarter starts. Policy and supply shock The 10-year tax abatement phaseout pulled permits into late 2021, then left a void. That earlier pipeline is now delivering units, temporarily pressuring fundamentals and discouraging new applications. Post-pandemic downshift Permit intensity has fallen 62.1% per 10,000 residents from the pandemic boom, among the...

Providence Rental Vacancy Climbs to 6 %

Image
Did Providence Rental Vacancy Really Hit 6%? How the 6% Providence rental vacancy claim was calculated remains unclear in currently available public data. Verification Gap Missing Providence Series No source in the reviewed materials confirms Providence reaching 6%. The U.S. Census Bureau’s annual Rhode Island rental vacancy rate series (RIRVAC) on FRED is not seasonally adjusted. The absence of documented data methodology increases risk of reporting discrepancies between city-level claims and statewide measures. State Data Signals Tightening Rhode Island’s rental vacancy rate was 2.6% in 2024, down from 3.7% in 2023 and 4.6% in 2022. That 2024 figure matches 2021 and returns to pandemic-era tightness. Policy debate intensified as construction statewide left analysts dependent on incomplete local reporting. Key limits in the record include: No Providence 2025-2026 vacancy release. RIHousing survey details not publicly provided. National metro vacancy levels, 7.6% in 2025, are not a su...
