Oahu’s median price for a single-family home has for the first time broken the $800,000 mark after a year in which the median price has not gone below $760,000 once, according to statistics from the Honolulu Board of Realtors.

The median price of $810,000 in August was a 3 percent increase from $786,250 in August 2017 and an all-time high for the market, surpassing by 1.8 percent the previous high of $795,000 set in June 2017. The local real estate firm Locations also reported the $810,000 figure…

The city of Roseville deferred a senior independent living project's fees in an effort to incentivize and streamline its development.

The co-founders of Designing Justice + Designing Spaces are building better environments to promote healing and communication.

Allow me to broadcast my answers to the three most common questions I get nowadays:

Is Amazon.com Inc.'s HQ2 coming here? Nobody knows — not even Mike Rollins, president of the Austin Chamber of Commerce. He submitted Austin's bid but is being kept in the dark so far like the rest of us, he said.

Would HQ2 be good or bad for Austin? Both. As with anything on an economic level, there would be winners and losers. Need more? Just look around at what's happening to Austin and know that all the pros…

Average monthly rent for Phoenix apartments over the past 18 months increased at a rate that ranked in the top five for major U.S. cities, according to a new study by RENTCafe.

The number of people employed in Oregon's construction industry hit a peak in 2008, when nearly 92,000 people worked in construction trades, only to have the Great Recession incite a two-year decline.

But it didn't stay down for long, and it's still going: Since 2010, the state's construction workforce has increased by 46 percent, reaching a new peak of 96,800 by the end of 2017.

As the data here shows, it's only just getting started.

The construction industry is expected to grow its workforce…

By reliable estimates, California is short of the homes it needs by about 3 million. It’s an accumulated deficit that not only gets larger each year, but in recent years is getting larger faster.

Given that trajectory, it should be beyond argument that bold action to stimulate more housing is needed — action that, by definition, will disrupt the status quo. That status quo simply isn’t working. It’s failed millions of current and future Californians who need to be able to afford a place…
