This Market Needs a Mom 🌸

April data confirmed what we’re seeing in the trenches: buyers have more choices, but not more confidence. The best homes are still moving. The “almost right” homes are sitting. Sellers pricing like it’s 2021 may need Mom to call a timeout. Buyers may need Mom to bring snacks and perspective.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms making better decisions than the rest of us.

April is here. The market? Technically improving, emotionally confusing. 🌧️

This week’s Bushwick Weekly breaks down why more listings do not automatically mean easier buying, where bidding wars are still happening, and what the official March data is really telling us.

💸 Mortgage rates spiked to 6.6%.

🌷 Spring sprung, but you wouldn’t know it from the weather. This week: mortgage mania, private listing drama, and another weekly high in new listings. Plus, we finally got the weather window we needed to capture the views from our incredible Blue Ridge listing. This soggy little lull may be a real opportunity for buyers before the true spring chaos begins.
