Welcome back to Bloomberg’s Real Estate Monitor , a weekly breakdown of emerging trends, strategic challenges and blockbuster deals shaping the industry. Sign up now if you’re not already on the list. This week, you’ll find out what’s holding back US homebuyers during a crucial time for the market. We’ll also dig into the brewing backlash over a proposal to tax pricey second homes in NYC and see how London and Spain’s biggest cities are fairing with their housing proposals. And speaking of one of those cities, Madrid is getting a glam makeover , and not everyone’s happy. Read on for more. — Christine Maurus Market Snapshot Vornado Realty Trust $30.30 +1.5% Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc $323.36 -2.7% Real Brokerage Inc/The $2.22 +9.9% RE/MAX Holdings Inc $11.29 +14% Market data as of 09:21 AM ET. Data is subject to provider delays. The big story House hunters in the US are laying low this spring , usually the busiest time of the year for deals. Just recently, industry-watchers were expecting the market to pop after a couple years in the doldrums. The torrid price gains of the pandemic era had cooled off, and purchases were getting slightly more approachable in places with a healthy supply of listings. Mortgage rates were heading lower. The hope was that the promise of gaining some negotiating power would lure people in droves. But instead, the market’s slipping deeper into dysfunction, Bloomberg’s Paulina Cachero reported. Sellers are outnumbering buyers at near-record levels, and contract signings last month were even more dismal than they were in March 2025, which was the start of one of the weakest springs for home selling in years. So what happened? The war in Iran, for one thing. Inflation fears sparked by the conflict sent financing costs higher, robbing would-be buyers of the purchasing power they thought they’d be gaining. Some shoppers have cut their budgets, while others are holding off — unnerved by the war or anxious about their job security, or just sitt...

JHVEPhoto AMD ( AMD ) was in focus on Wednesday as Susquehanna raised its price target on the semiconductor company to $375 from $300, ahead of its first-quarter results, set to be released on May 5. Shares rose 1.6% in premarket trading. “In short, we expect better results/guidance driven primarily by DC (Server and MI350),” analyst Christopher Rolland wrote in a note to clients. “For DC GPU, MI350 is expected to continue growing in 1H26, though we expect a sharper ramp in DC GPU revenue in late ‘26 with the launch of MI450/Helios. As a reminder, [OpenAI] and now META have each announced a 6GW hardware agreement with AMD, with the first GW expected to come in 2H26 for both (we estimate each GW to be associated with ~$15B of revenue). We have embedded an uplift in revenue beginning in 4Q26 as revenues here will likely spill into 2027.” As a result, Rolland, who has a Positive rating on the stock, said he estimates AMD will generate $17B in GPU revenue in 2026. Looking to the data center and CPUs, Rolland said recent checks “support a strong 1Q and beyond” as demand from agentic artificial intelligence continues to be exceptional, and recent price hikes could turn out to be a tailwind. A consensus of analysts expects AMD to earn $1.29 per share on $9.89B in revenue.

MarkRubens/iStock via Getty Images By Paolo Pizzoli , Senior Economist, Italy, Greece The impact of the Middle East war and the stalemate in negotiations keeping the Strait of Hormuz almost closed to navigation is apparently spreading through the Italian economy, affecting both consumers and businesses. Consumer confidence falls further In March, consumers were the first to feel the hit of the consequences of war in the Middle East. April data shows that the picture has not improved, despite news of the ceasefire. Consumer confidence dropped further to 90.8, the lowest level since January 2023, dragged down by deteriorating expectations for the economic situation. Consumers are increasingly worried about future unemployment and expect higher inflation down the road. This combination is well reflected in decelerating intentions to purchase both durable goods and houses and in growing intentions to save. The stabilisation in retailers' confidence, meanwhile, suggests possible resilience in non-durable consumption. Manufacturers also feeling the brunt In manufacturing, the contained deterioration in the orders component and a low level of inventories resulted in a very slight softening in current and expected production. Both the order and production indicators worsened further for instrumental goods – a warning shot for short-term machinery investment development. Interestingly, businesses signalled increasing intentions to revise their prices upwards in the future. For the time being, the war in the Middle East and its energy disruptions seem to point to a pause in the tentative recovery rather than a new plunge into a manufacturing recession. Construction also hit, but infrastructural exception persists The deterioration is more marked in the construction sector, where confidence fell by almost three points (though remained above the January 2026 low), dragged down by deteriorating current and expected orders/construction plans. The survey details show that the bulk...
