Dahlonega Real Estate Market Projections Released for Chestatee Riverfront Homes
Gold Peach Realty Releases Market Projections for Dahlonega’s South Chestatee Riverfront Homes Dahlonega, GA - December 2025 - Gold Peach Realty, the leading real estate brokerage in North Georgia, has released a new set of market projections highlighting notable expected value increases for a small, highly desirable segment of riverfront homes along the Chestatee River. According to the firm’s analysis, properties located near South Chestatee Road in Dahlonega may significantly outperform the broader market over the next several years due to limited availability and rapidly increasing demand. Current forecasts for the overall Dahlonega housing market indicate steady annual appreciation in the range of 5% to 7%, supported by continued population growth, expanding local amenities, and strong buyer activity across North Georgia. However, Gold Peach Realty’s research identifies a distinct micro-market along the Chestatee River that is likely to appreciate at a much faster rate. Because this segment consists of only a small number of riverfront parcels with premium frontage and close proximity to downtown, the brokerage projects that these properties could experience nearly double the appreciation of non-riverfront homes in the area. The stretch of riverfront homes near South Chestatee Road is widely regarded as one of the most desirable locations in Dahlonega due to its direct access to the Chestatee River, scenic natural surroundings, and convenience to historic downtown. With limited opportunity for new riverfront development in this corridor, supply remains extremely constrained, creating upward pressure on long-term property values. Gold Peach Realty reports that inquiries for riverfront homes in this area have risen steadily over the past two years, reflecting increased buyer interest in secluded yet accessible waterfront living. "Among all micro-markets in Dahlonega, the South Chestatee River corridor stands out for its combination of scarcity and premium location," the company reported in its analysis. "Based on current absorption rates, inventory levels, and lifestyle demand, these riverfront homes are expected to outperform the broader market and may become some of the most valuable residential properties in North Georgia over the next decade." Gold Peach Realty remains the top-ranking real estate brokerage in Dahlonega and continues to lead the region in market analytics, strategic forecasting, and client advisory services. The firm’s reputation for high-quality marketing, expert negotiation, and comprehensive client support has positioned it as the trusted authority for both buyers and sellers seeking premium properties in North Georgia. More details about the Dahlonega market and available properties can be found at: https://www.goldpeachrealty.com Disclaimer: These projections are based on current data and market trends and are provided for informational purposes only. Real estate markets are subject to change, and actual results may differ from projected performance. No guarantees of future appreciation or investment returns are stated or implied.

M Square Commercial announced the successful negotiation of a 10-year NNN retail lease extension for Shepherd Eye at 2100 N Rampart Boulevard in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas. The deal secures long term stability for the landlord, Rampart PhD LLC, and ensures that one of Nevada’s leading eye care providers remains in a highly visible, 7,100 square foot medical retail space. Summerlin continues to attract medical and professional users who value convenient, accessible locations in a market that maintains low retail vacancy and steady demand. By renewing Shepherd Eye under a new long term NNN lease structure, M Square Commercial helped align the landlord’s income objectives with the tenant’s continued growth plans in the Las Vegas valley. “Shepherd Eye is exactly the type of tenant owners want in a core Summerlin location, established, trusted, and committed to delivering essential services to the community,” said Brittany Megrath, CCIM , Principal and Managing Broker of M Square Commercial. “Our role was to design a lease structure that kept a strong tenant in place while supporting the long-term performance of the asset for our client.” The 10-year NNN lease extension reflects current Summerlin retail and medical office market conditions, where well located space remains in high demand and vacancy rates remain relatively low. The agreement provides Rampart PhD LLC with predictable cash flow and reinforces occupancy for a key asset in its portfolio. Founded in 1968, Shepherd Eye Center has grown into a nationally recognized leader in eye care and eye surgery.

Alpha Realty, a New York City based investment sales brokerage, has been exclusively retained to market two renovated walk-up multifamily buildings in Manhattan's Kips Bay and Clinton / Hell's Kitchen neighborhoods. The properties, located at 151 East 30th Street and 446 West 55th Street, total 31 apartments across approximately 17,600 square feet. 151 East 30th Street is a five story walk up building with 11 fully free market apartments across approximately 8,472 square feet. The property was gut renovated in 2021 with modern finishes throughout and is positioned between Lexington Avenue and Third Avenue in Kips Bay, within walking distance of the 28th Street subway station and a wide range of neighborhood retail, dining and entertainment options. Located between Ninth and Tenth Avenues, 446 West 55th Street is a five story walk up totaling 20 apartments, 90 percent of which are free market, across approximately 9,155 square feet.

Corporate Headquarters Opportunity Announced for Historic Purse Building in Downtown Dallas Government District
Wildcat Management has announced a new corporate headquarters opportunity at the historic Purse Building, a six-story brick landmark at 601 Elm Street in Downtown Dallas’ Government District. Marketed at approximately $12.5 million, the property is being promoted to companies that want daily brand visibility at the front door of North Texas growth. The Purse Building sits on Elm Street as traffic exits Downtown toward Interstate 35E, Interstate 30 and other major regional routes. Vehicles and pedestrians move past the property throughout the day, and a signalized intersection at the front entry slows traffic and concentrates views on the building and potential signage zones. Surrounding the property, Dallas is advancing several large-scale investments that are reshaping the urban core. The site sits blocks from the planned Goldman Sachs campus, near the $3.7 billion Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas redevelopment and adjacent to a Dallas College improvement program of approximately $500 million and a planned mixed-use project of approximately $200 million. Over the past several years, that investment has been matched by a wave of corporate relocations into North Texas. Between 2018 and 2024, the Dallas Fort Worth region landed around 100 new corporate headquarters, more than any other U.S. metro in that period, as companies moved operations to a central, business friendly hub. “For a headquarters user, Dallas has become the place you move when you want to plant a flag,” said Tanya Ragan, president of Wildcat Management. “The Purse Building gives that user a historic, highly visible home base in the middle of the relocation story everyone is talking about.” Originally constructed in 1905 and restored under Ragan’s direction, the approximately 65,000 square foot Purse Building combines historic character with modern systems and open floor plates. The six levels can support a range of headquarters concepts, including executive offices, client-facing areas, collaborative workspace and studio or creative space, with the potential for rooftop activation overlooking Downtown Dallas. Ragan notes that the property is well suited to financial services firms, professional services, technology companies, family offices and creative agencies that want a visible, transit accessible headquarters in the urban core. The location provides straightforward access to major highways, nearby transit options and Downtown amenities for employees and visitors. “The companies moving to Dallas are looking for places where they can build teams, host clients and plug into the city’s momentum,” Ragan said. “The Purse Building offers that combination for the right headquarters user.” In a recent article on Dallas, the Purse Building and North Texas growth, Monica Moreno of Wildcat Management shares more of the story behind this headquarters opportunity, available here: https://bit.ly/485eJDc For information about the corporate headquarters opportunity at the Purse Building, contact Monica Moreno.

Commentary on URA tender closing at Bedok Rise residential site
The tender at Bedok Rise (380 units) drew 10 bids and a top bid price of $464.8 mil ($1,330 psf ppr), above expectations. The top bid was submitted by Bellis Residential – believed to be Allgreen, narrowly outbidding the second-placed Hoi Hup’s $1,324 psf ppr by 0.4%. The price gap between the top and last bidder of less than 20% shows some consensus on the attractiveness of the site, which is probably the last piece of greenfield site around the Tanah Merah MRT station on the East-West line, within 1 km of popular Temasek Primary School and one stop away from Bedok town centre and host of retail mall and amenities. At 10 bids, this makes Bedok Rise site the most popular land tender in 2025 to date, surpassing the 9 bids received each for Dorset Road (425 units) in October 2025 and Dunearn Road (380 units) in July 2025, and the 8 bids each received for Bayshore Road (515 units) site in March 2025 and the Bukit Timah Road site (340 units) on 11 Nov 2025. Year-to-date bids have been relatively robust as developers may have been encouraged by 1) new home sales reaching 4-year high by October 2025; 2) significant declines in borrowing costs – 3M SORA has declined close to 180 bps since the start of the year, and mortgage rates have declined in tandem year to date; and 3) better-than-expected economic performance - MTI Singapore on Nov 21 upgraded its economic growth forecast again for 2025 to around 4% after a better-than-expected performance in the third quarter of the year of 4.2%. This is higher than the previous growth projection of 1.5 to 2.5% that was made in August, and the 0-2% that was made in April. The top bid price of $1,330 psf ppr, while much higher than the last Tanah Merah GLS site sold in 2020, still does not trump the land rate paid for Bayshore Road’s $1,388 psf ppr in March 2025. The last GLS site at Tanah Merah was the residential with commercial on 1st storey site Tanah Merah Kechil which received 15 bids, a top bid unit price of $930 psf ppr submitted by MCC Land during its tender closing on 29 Oct 2020 and later awarded on 13 Nov 2020. Sceneca Residence (268 units) was launched in Jan 2023 and sold 160 units (60% of total units) at an average price of $2,072 psf over its launch weekend. Nearby projects have been relatively well-received when they were launched, with no new launch since 2023’s Sceneca Residence which is almost fully sold by Oct 2025. Nearby comparables such as Sceneca transacted a median price of $2,065 psf while secondary sales at Grandeur Park Residences , The Glades , Urban Vista , and Optima@Tanah Merah transacted at $1,481-2,003 psf. For this Bedok Rise site, we expect the developer could look to launch the new project at an average price of $2,300-2,400 psf. About CBRE Group, Inc. CBRE Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBRE), a Fortune 500 and S&P 500 company headquartered in Dallas, is the world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment firm (based on 2024 revenue).

Local Roofing Expert Warn: Insurance Changes May Leave Bay Area Homes Uncovered
How Drone Technology Helps Bay Area Homeowners Stay Ahead Cupertino, CA — November 2025 — Homeowners across the San Francisco Bay Area are facing a new and unexpected challenge: insurance companies are increasingly requiring roof inspections—and in many cases, proof of repairs—before issuing or renewing homeowner coverage. This shift has left residents scrambling to meet insurer deadlines, often with little warning. Top Roofing, a locally owned roofing company based in Cupertino, is helping homeowners stay ahead of these new insurance requirements by offering complimentary aerial drone roof inspections. These high-resolution assessments give homeowners a clear view of their roof’s condition and the ability to plan repairs on their own timeline, rather than under pressure from insurers. Roof Inspections: Now a Critical Factor for Home Insurance California’s property insurance market has tightened significantly in recent years. With claims rising from wildfires, storms, and aging homes, insurance carriers are conducting far more rigorous risk assessments. The roof— a home’s first line of defense—is now one of the most heavily scrutinized components during policy reviews. Roofs more than 15 years old, visible wear such as cracked shingles, or issues with drainage and flashing can all trigger red flags. Even well-maintained homes may be required to undergo inspection before coverage is granted or renewed. What Insurers Are Looking For Insurance assessors commonly evaluate: Roof Age — Documentation for roofs older than 10-15 years Visible Damage — Missing shingles, cracks, lifted tiles Drainage — Clean gutters and proper water flow Material Type — Asphalt, tile, or metal wear differently Structural Soundness — Sagging or soft decking Without a professional report, homeowners may be forced into urgent, costly repairs to maintain coverage. Drone Technology: A Faster, Safer, More Accurate Inspection Top Roofing’s drone inspection service has modernized the way roof assessments are performed. Licensed drone operators capture comprehensive aerial imagery of the entire roof—no climbing, no risk, and no missed details. “Most people don’t realize their insurer can require a roof replacement before issuing a policy,” said Tal, owner of Top Roofing. “Drone inspections give homeowners clarity and control. They can see exactly what’s happening on their roof and plan repairs well before insurance deadlines.” After capturing footage, Top Roofing specialists review the imagery and prepare a detailed condition report, complete with photos and explanations. What Drone Cameras Can Reveal Drone scans detect issues invisible from ground level, including: Cracked, curling, or missing shingles Rusted or corroded flashing Pooling water and drainage issues Warped or sunken roof sections Moss, mold, and lichen buildup Wind, debris, or wildlife damage Early detection helps prevent minor issues from becoming costly structural repairs. Real Customer Experience “Tal is the owner. His quote is the lowest due to low overhead. He is the man who keeps his word… His people did a good job. They came 3 times to do touch-ups, some which are even beyond their scope of work with no problem. Good people + Trustworthy!” — David H., Google Review Roof Repair vs. Replacement: How Homeowners Decide Top Roofing provides clear guidance based on inspection findings: Repair — Minor leaks, limited shingle damage, flashing fixes Partial Replacement — When only a section shows wear Full Replacement — Roofs over 20 years old, structurally compromised, or repeatedly patched The company emphasizes honest recommendations—not upsells—so homeowners can make informed decisions. How Roof Condition Impacts home Insurance Rates Insurers reward well-maintained roofs with lower premiums and fewer restrictions. Conversely, outdated or deteriorated roofs can result in higher costs—or denied coverage. A recent professional inspection report can provide leverage when negotiating policy terms and prevent last-minute surprises during renewal. Preparing for an Insurance Roof Inspection Top Roofing recommends homeowners: Clean gutters and remove debris Trim overhanging branches Check attic ventilation Document prior repairs Schedule a professional drone inspection for a certified report The Top Roofing Difference Founded in Cupertino, Top Roofing serves the entire Bay Area, including San Jose, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Santa Clara, Los Gatos, and Palo Alto. The company blends traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, delivering accurate assessments, transparent pricing, and reliable roofing solutions. “We’re not just fixing roofs,” said Tal. “We’re helping people protect their homes, reduce stress, and stay insured—without confusion or inflated pricing.” Take Control Before Insurance Deadlines Hit Proactive drone inspections allow homeowners to catch issues early, plan repairs around their schedule and budget, and avoid pressure from insurance companies. Early detection often saves thousands in long-term repair costs. Top Roofing offers free, no-obligation drone roof inspections across Cupertino and the wider Bay Area.

Chicago Foundation Crack Repair: Stabilization & Waterproofing Services Expanded
With the announcement, United Structural Systems of Illinois (USS) now provides structural inspections and long-term stabilization solutions to address increasing reports of basement moisture, shifting soil, and aging concrete issues in the area. Its team uses proven foundation crack repair techniques, including epoxy injection, polyurethane sealing, and exterior waterproofing methods to fix these problems. More details can be found at https://www.unitedstructuralsystems.com/foundation-crack-repair/ The contractor explains that early inspections are the key to keeping repair costs manageable. Cracks may form from concrete shrinkage, weather-driven soil changes, or simple wear over time, but wider openings, spreading cracks, or any sign of water should be evaluated before they lead to structural strain. “Moisture and movement are a bad combination for any foundation. Early evaluation gives homeowners options before the damage becomes more serious,” said a company spokesperson. The inspection helps determine what type of repair is needed. For structural cracks, their technicians use low-pressure epoxy injection, bonding the concrete back together so the wall regains its original strength. When the goal is to stop water entry, polyurethane injection is used instead, expanding into voids and blocking moisture. Both methods are completed from inside the home when possible, minimizing disruption and allowing most issues to be addressed in a single visit. When a crack cannot be accessed from inside, the company performs exterior crack repair by excavating the area around the wall, preparing the surface, applying HLM 5000 waterproofing primer, and installing a bituthene membrane to keep moisture out. For more severe damage or slab-on-grade construction, steel crack plates may be installed to reinforce the wall and prevent further spreading. United Structural Systems of Illinois works with homeowners as well as structural engineers, general contractors, real estate developers, and municipal agencies. With more than 30 years of experience, United Structural Systems of Illinois provides long-term solutions for residential and commercial properties throughout the Chicago metro area. Alongside foundation crack repair, the contractor offers structural stabilization, waterproofing, and related services, supported by technicians trained in multiple repair methods and familiar with local soil and climate conditions. Repairs are backed by a lifetime transferable warranty, giving property owners added confidence in the long-term stability of their foundation. Homeowners who want to schedule an inspection or learn more about the company’s foundation repair options can visit https://www.unitedstructuralsystems.com/how-important-is-a-foundation-crack-repair-warranty/

Naperville Custom-Fabricated Chimney Shrouds: Metalworks Design Services Expand
The recent product expansion from Salvo Metal Works addresses two critical homeowner challenges: protecting chimneys from weather damage and enhancing curb appeal. Built to exact measurements per home specifications, chimney shrouds provide personalized solutions for homeowners. Interested parties can learn more at https://salvometalworks.com/product-category/custom-chimney-shrouds/ Wind-induced downdrafts and wind-driven rain, common to the Chicago area, are problems that compromise both chimney function and structural integrity, explains the company. Custom shrouds address these common issues by creating barriers against weather damage while maintaining proper ventilation for chimney systems. Salvo Metal Works offers custom-made chimney shrouds designed to prevent weather damage, maintain proper ventilation, and increase curb appeal. Unlike off-the-shelf generic alternatives, each unit is engineered to fit precise chimney dimensions, ensuring both functional projection and architectural enhancement. Professional measurement from the experienced team accounts for mounting flanges, side clearances, and chimney chase dimensions to ensure proper sizing. Customers also have the opportunity to approve scale CAD drawings of their custom shroud before manufacturing, to ensure a perfect fit. Shrouds are made from copper, stainless steel, and galvanized steel with powder coating options to enhance their resistance to oxidation, corrosion, and rust. Salvo Metal Works offers multiple styles of shrouds, including pagoda, hip-and-ridge, and modern box designs that allow homeowners to match their home's architectural character. In addition to serving as barriers against rain and wind, the shrouds prevent animals from entering flue systems and improve draft efficiency. Custom shrouds that are outfitted with spark arrestors help keep sparks away from any accumulated creosote - a highly flammable byproduct of burning wood. The combined protection that shrouds and spark arrestors provide help prevent roof fires, keep chimney systems functioning safely and efficiently year-round. Salvo Metal Works' custom design services ensure homeowners can consider their house's style as well as its chimney system's performance, longevity, and safety, a company official said. "Adding these elements to a chimney can enhance the overall curb appeal of the home, making it look more refined and finished," the spokesperson added. "Custom designs can even be used to match other exterior elements, improving the home’s aesthetic value." For more information, please visit https://salvometalworks.com/

Ontario’s Housing Slowdown Fuels a Renovation Revival
Ontario’s housing market continues to cool, with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation ( CMHC ) projecting a fourth consecutive annual decline in housing starts across Ontario’s central markets. The slowdown—driven by weaker condominium activity, high financing costs, and limited land availability—comes even as resale conditions begin to recover and affordability pressures persist. With new home construction struggling to gain momentum, more Ontarians are focusing on modernizing the homes they already own. Nationwide, private renovation spending is estimated at $54 billion in 2025 ( IBISWorld ), reinforcing that upgrades and retrofits are becoming the preferred path to improving comfort, efficiency, and property value. In Ontario, renovation costs have surged more than 90% since 2017 ( Statistics Canada ), but modest declines early this year (–0.3% provincially; –0.5% in Toronto) suggest a more stable environment for homeowners to invest in upgrades.

Duckfund Launches AI-Driven EMD Financing Platform to Fast-Track Commercial Real Estate Purchases
Duckfund has launched an AI-driven platform that gives commercial real estate investors rapid access to earnest money deposits, delivering funding in as little as 48 hours. The automated system supports deposit financing from $25,000 up to $20 million across multifamily, industrial, retail, and single-family commercial assets. With a streamlined digital lending model that simplifies everything from application and underwriting to document execution, Duckfund has already enabled investors to secure more than $1.5 billion in CRE financing. Duckfund , a leading provider of earnest money deposit (EMD) financing solutions, has introduced a fully automated, AI-driven platform designed to help commercial real estate (CRE) investors move from application to deposit on escrow in as little as 48 hours. The announcement comes as CRE investors face stiff competition, a lack of lending options, and a slow recovery in key property sectors . Duckfund’s fluid lending model, backed by institutional funding, is set to remove roadblocks and help investors close deals faster than ever. The fully digital platform uses AI-driven tools to streamline underwriting and transaction verification, helping investors move from application to funding much quicker than traditional processes. “Duckfund is a first-in-class, fully automated real estate financing platform, ” said Anna Kogan, CEO of Duckfund. “All processes – including application, underwriting, document formation, notarization, payment processing, and origination – are user-friendly, seamless, and completed in seconds. Our clients can now apply in under five minutes and have their deposit funded within 48 hours.” The platform is ideal for mid-size investors managing deals between $3 million and $20 million, as well as an average first-time CRE ground deposit of $500,000. It serves a wide range of investment types, including multifamily , single-family, industrial , and retail properties. It is particularly useful for investors working on multiple deals simultaneously or syndicating equity during due diligence.
