In late February, Winter Storm Hernando significantly disrupted the Northeast real estate market, bringing activity to a near standstill. The storm, which dumped nearly 20 inches of snow in New York City and over two feet in parts of New Jersey and Long Island, led to a 7.8% drop in new real estate listings across the Northeast. This decline contrasted sharply with a 2.4% increase nationwide, underscoring the storm's localized impact.
