As we close out the final full week of November, the real estate market continues to show signs of steadying. Investor activity is deliberate, construction pricing remains stable, and cities are accelerating housing discussions before year-end. Here are the major developments from the week, along with my perspective on each.
1. Investors Moving Cautiously but Purposefully
Year-end investment reviews are underway, and while capital remains selective, investors are showing interest in well-structured, lower-risk projects. Build-to-Rent and workforce housing continue to be favored asset classes.
Corey’s Take: Investors are looking for clarity and consistency. In markets like this, strong fundamentals matter more than ever. If your deal is realistic, conservative, and community-focused, capital finds its way to the table.
2. Developers Finalize 2026 Action Plans
Across the country, development teams are solidifying their project lists, financing strategies, and construction schedules for next year. Land control and entitlement preparation were major themes this week.
Corey’s Take: November and December are where next year’s wins are built. This is the time to refine strategy, finalize partners, and make sure every piece is aligned. The developers who prepare now will move the fastest in Q1.
3. Workforce Housing Remains a Priority for Cities
Municipal leaders continue pushing to expand attainable housing options. Several Indiana cities introduced early-stage discussions around incentives and approvals designed to speed up 2026 production.
Corey’s Take: Cities are finally understanding that smaller-scale, high-quality developments can move faster and make a bigger impact. This is the lane CorePar Development was built for, and we’re ready to meet that demand.
4. Construction Costs Stay Level as Winter Approaches
Contractors reported stable pricing and increased labor availability. Many trades are looking to fill schedules before winter sets in, making this a favorable time for developers to negotiate bids.
Corey’s Take: Predictability in costs is a strategic advantage. Locking in trades now can strengthen budgets and timelines for spring starts. Steady planning beats chasing perfect conditions.
5. Capital Markets Focus on Value Over Volume
Institutional capital remains cautious, but family offices and private investors are showing increasing interest in smaller, steady-yield projects. The shift is toward long-term stability, not aggressive short-term gains.
Corey’s Take: The market is rewarding practicality. Investors want predictability, transparency, and a clear path to returns. When you can demonstrate those things, you stand out.
At CorePar Development, we’re closing out November with a focus on execution, alignment, and preparing for a strong 2026. Real estate is a long game, and the decisions made in these final weeks of the year set the tone for everything that follows.
