Dear Clients,
In April, Manhattan's real estate pace has eased, while Brooklyn sees increased buyer activity. Limited home supply gives sellers an advantage, but buyers have strategic investment opportunities. Home prices are rising, reflecting a robust market. Existing home sales increased by 3.1% from December to January, providing buyers with more choices. Despite lower sales compared to previous years, a competitive home buying season is expected this spring
Best Regards,
