Manhattan Spring Market: Uneven Pace, Shifting Leverage

Uneven spring, shifting leverage Manhattan’s spring market is active, but it is not firing on all cylinders. Supply is climbing, and contract activity is improving. The pace still trails a “normal” March as rates, war headlines, and widening credit spreads weigh on confidence. Luxury and upper‑middle segments are carrying more of the load, with cash‑rich buyers and Wall Street bonuses keeping Continue Reading
