By: Sougata Mukherjee Editor-in-Chief, Triangle Business Journal Just how many times have you read stories in recent months that talk about a hot housing market? Well, to us, that's somewhat old news. How many times are we going to write pieces on how the average price of new homes is going up and the sale price of existing homes is going up even further? Yes, we know we have a supply and demand imbalance. For markets that are dramatically experiencing massive inbound population flows such as in Raleigh, Austin, Texas, and Nashville, Tennessee, the number of listed homes is on the decrease and the percentage of homes sold above the listing price is going up. Coupled with adamantly low mortgage rates, there’s no reason to believe things will change in the short run. But what is beginning to change should offer hope to everyone looking for an opportunity to start a new business. Are you a good handyman? Are you an electrician? Did you go through turf management program at a technical c ...

By: Jeff Blumenthal Reporter, Philadelphia Business Journal Spring Garden Lending, the provider of bridge financing to local real estate developers led by former Valley Green Bank CEO Jay Goldstein, is entering uncharted territory with a longer term fixed rate financing product. Called Permanent Plus, the new loans offer up to 30-year fixed rate financing for real estate developers working on single family homes with one to four units and multifamily homes of five to eight units. Goldstein said the loan program will most likely top out at 16 to 20 homes per project, though a borrower could take out more than one loan at the same time. The high-water mark would most likely be around $5 million per loan. “This allows us to leverage existing relationships with clients and offer them a new product as well as attract new clients who hadn’t worked with us before,” Goldstein said. Goldstein admitted that the certainty of a 30-year fixed loan comes with higher interest rates abo ...

One place I return to both in daydream and reality is Fairmount Park, behind the famed art museum, and the miles-long pathway that traces a circle around that part of the Schuylkill River. I think about the Italian Market and its small world of vendors, about the mosaics glinting in the sun, the digestible chaos of Chinatown, the essential, if flawed, sense of American history, the beautiful, dilapidated row houses that speak to the promise of equality we haven’t yet reached as a country. Spiritually, it’s my city.” Here’s the whole article: https://www.cntraveler.com/gallery/best-destinations-in-the-world-gold-list.
