The 4th is Back!

The annual 4th of July fireworks show

will make a triumphant return to the

skies over New York City this weekend. Over 65,000 shells

will explode over the East

River this Sunday. Spectators will

be

able to see the fireworks from many neighborhoods

in Midtown Manhattan and parts

of Brooklyn and Queens. (Find out who is performing and where to get the best seats here)

Hot Hot Housing Market

The housing market is so hot right now that half of existing-home buyers who used mortgages in April made at least a 20% down payment. That level of upfront investment has only been seen 3 times over 10 years, all of them happening since last fall. A quarter of existing home buyers paid cash in April, the highest level since 2017. Big down payments and "whisper listings" are squeezing out first-timers trying to find a home. Pro Tip: work with us to avoid the fray. (Full Story)
