South by Southwest is scheduled for March 12–18, bringing a single, concentrated week of conference programming, film and TV screenings, and nightly music showcases into downtown Austin. SXSW EDU precedes the main festival, running March 9–12, with Thursday functioning as a handoff day that overlaps with the start of SXSW activity in the city.
Sunshine lures many of us to South Florida, but housing costs decide the ZIP code. In December 2025, the typical Boca Raton home sold for $630,000, versus $470,000 in West Palm Beach—a $160,000 spread that reshapes down payments and monthly budgets. Boca’s “A-rated” schools and manicured, land-locked neighborhoods fuel its premium; West Palm’s eclectic downtown and larger lots keep prices in check. In this guide, we’ll compare prices, taxes, insurance, and lifestyle so you can decide which city fits your wallet. Curious? Explore current Boca listings if you’d like a sneak peek.
Life in Midtown Reno involves commutes, errands, and busy schedules. An hour or so up the grade, Lake Tahoe changes the tempo, with picturesque scenery and a calmer, more serene atmosphere. That contrast is a useful way to read the Reno–Tahoe region this year: not as one market with one set of buyer priorities, but as two distinct sets of buyer priorities within one geography.
The Valspar Championship is scheduled for March 16–22 at Innisbrook Resort’s Copperhead Course in Palm Harbor, placing PGA TOUR week back on the Tampa Bay calendar with a pair of anniversary markers: 25 years of PGA TOUR golf in the region and 50 years of pro golf events tied to Copperhead Charities’ local footprint.
Upstate New York’s luxury market is not suddenly inexpensive, and it isn’t immune to the pressures reshaping housing nationally. But in early 2026, the region is benefiting from a set of conditions that feels newly legible to first-time buyers at the top end: steadier expectations around borrowing costs, a market narrative that is less fevered than it was a few years ago, and a growing willingness among households to define “luxury” through space, privacy, and lifestyle—not proximity to Manhattan.
Across Tampa Bay, the definition of “premium” has widened. Alongside square footage, finishes, and address, buyers are now pressing early on roof age, wind-mitigation documentation, prior claims, and whether a seller can produce an insurance file that’s easy for a carrier to review. This year, insurability is part of what low-friction ownership looks like on Florida’s Gulf Coast, and it’s increasingly shaping how smoothly a deal moves from offer to closing.
