Signs of a more dynamic spring market may be starting to surface in February’s transactional activity. In the New York regional market, condominium sales increased year-over-year and pending sales for co-ops also reportedly increased dramatically. These figures may be an indication that buyers will continue to explore their housing options as high mortgage rates and rising home prices continue to present affordability challenges for many buyers, OneKey MLS stated in its report.
