What Does the Future Hold in the Real Estate Market

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeStarr Realty RS143922A

 I attended a Zoom meeting featuring Lawrence Yun  is a Chief Economist and Senior Vice President of Research at the National Association of Realtors.

 

His predictions were that even if a vaccine for COVID19 were to be discovered most people would continue working at home. He also felt there would be a vaccine by the end of 2020 or early 2021.People have found it much more economic and productive to work from home especially with the ability to do Zoom meeting.  Perhaps just going into offices two maybe three days a week if that.

(see my post )

 

He also says this would be the best winter for Real Estate Sales. Although some people are out of work many people are still working. Many people are and I know I am one of them are not eating out . They are saving money  by eating at home. They are also not shopping as much therefore are saving money. The housing market is booming and will continue. In my area we are still seeing houses increasing in value by almost 10%.

Dr Lawrence Yun says pending sales are up 20% and says we will have the best Winter ever

 

 A great Zoom Meeting put together by the Bucks County Board of Realtors

 

We have the ability to do so much with the online tools we are given Zoom is just one of these amazing features we have. This year I was fortunate to be able to take all my continuing education classes online on Zoom in the comfort and safety of my home

 

What does the Future Hold in the Real Estate Market?

No one really knows but for now it does look bright

I do think it’ll bounce back next year sometime in March pretty hard. We shall see what happens, though.

I agree, working from home is here to stay.  Too many benefits.  I also think we will see struggles in commercial properties, as businesses realize they need less staff for staff.

At first, staying at home during the shut down felt like I was being punished for something I didn't do Hannah. Getting out and about is freeing and while some online events are okay but never want to lose touch with meeting with people in person. Our market is being inundated by people leaving bigger cities, wanting to purchase!

Shirley Coomer I agree with you as for the first time I went into a store there were not many people inside but more than I thought there would be. All the salespeople were very helpful but I do not think I will shop again 

Mary Hutchison, SRES, ABR  Time will tell - we are usually slow this time of year and we are still busy

On a whim, I decided to google Dr Yuns predictions, back in 2007 and 2008.  Funny enough, he seemed to be wrong.......which I did NOT expect.  

Check out this article in CNN https://money.cnn.com/2008/01/23/real_estate/merrill_forecast/?postversion=2008012317

Merill Lynch predicted a 15% drop in home values, and Lawrence said they were pessimistic and unprecedented.

I like reading the stuff (stat, and stuff by lawrence), but I also like to read others too.  I'm glad I checked this.......

Congrats on the feature, none of us have a crystal ball, and like weathermen, economists can make predictions and still stay employed when they get it wrong.

As long as inventory remains low as it is here in Central Ohio, I expect we'll continue to have strong demand and goodo appreciation.

Hi Hannah:

Glad to see this featured! There's some important information in your post...wonder if the predictions will be on target?

It will be interesting to see what happens during the last quarter and into the new year when we traditionally see a slowdown - my guess is there will still be some of that.

Q2 2021 is going to be the most interesting time to watch according to several economists.  Not doubting that December will be busy, but all real estate is local so we shall see!
