Hartford, Connecticut, stays hot as the nation’s top housing market for the second straight month, fueled by surging buyer demand and ultra-tight inventory. Erie, Pennsylvania, rockets to second place, drawing buyers with affordability and lightning-fast sales—homes selling in just 29 days. Across the Northeast and Midwest, cities are emerging as the new hotspots as elevated mortgage rates push first-time buyers to seek out more affordable options.

With the Fed holding rates steady, it’s supply and demand—and affordability—that’s really heating things up. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
