THE MARKET IS ABNORMALLY HOT
HOW THE PANDEMIC SHAPED THE MARKET
Experts can’t point to just one reason why homebuying has defied expectations as we face a still uncertain economy and elevated levels of unemployment. Why is there such a big appetite now?
Experts agree; the coronavirus has changed what people are looking for in a home—but to what extent is up for debate. Are people really abandoning major cities to buy houses in the suburbs?
Low mortgage rates? More space to work from home? Buyers who waited for the pandemic to subside? It’s likely a combination of a few or all of these factors. Buyers who were held back during the spring watched mortgage rates drop. Now that businesses are opening and more people are finding ways to live safely, the homebuying hesitancy has subsided. Low rates are just adding extra impetus to an already motivated buying segment.
Data suggests an interest in more space but not necessarily leaving the city. Many want to trade in their penthouse for a townhouse rather than leave the city. “After analyzing a slew of housing market data, we have not seen suburban markets strengthen compared to urban ones, nor an increase in search activity for single-family detached homes,” says Cheryl Young, senior economist at Zillow. Regardless of where you live, extra space is commanding buyer interest.
“With unusually high buyer interest this late in the homebuying season, buyers are moving much faster than this time last year to beat out competition and lock in low mortgage rates. This means homes are sitting on the market for much less time, despite notably higher price tags.” —Danielle Hale, Realtor.com Economist Jonathan and Angela-Marie, This is the perfect time of year to take advantage of the unique market and historic conditions; don’t miss this opportunity!

Typically, the real estate market tends to hit the brakes in the fall, as kids return to school and families juggle work, extracurriculars, and the upcoming holidays. But that’s not what’s happening. Homes are getting snapped up faster as values rise and mortgage rates continue to slide.
