The coronavirus pandemic has profoundly affected almost every aspect of our lives, including real estate.

Inevitably, concerns related to the virus have led to some homes being withdrawn from the market and fewer buyers overall.

These are uncertain times but we're also happy to tell you that there's still good news when it comes to selling and/or buying a home.

Above all, the real estate market has been incredibly fast to adapt to the new situation we all find ourselves in.

There has been unprecedented use of information technology to overcome many issues, including virtual tours and showings and e-signing of documents.

This approach is typified by our newly-launched Virtual Buying Program which enables buyers to purchase a home without ever leaving home. Click here for more details.

Safe best practices are in place that enable showings to continue, with appropriate social distancing.

Homes are continuing to sell and, as surprising as it may seem at the moment, some buyers are more eager to purchase than ever, thanks in no small measure to the lowest mortgage rates since records began about 50 years ago.

Government stimulus packages have also been instrumental in helping to maintain some optimism surrounding the ultimate economic impact of the pandemic and the stock market has also bounced back recently too.

And let's not forget how incredibly strong the housing market was before COVID-19 changed things so dramatically and so quickly. Recovery is envisaged as being a lot faster than it was in the Great Recession a few years ago.

Clearly the situation is still very fluid, but there's no question that the real estate market has adapted superbly well and people either still have to move or have extra motivations to do so right now, related to the current opportunities for very cheap borrowing.

We'd be pleased to take an informal discussion with you to discuss the possibilities in your own individual circumstances, so why not call us at 928-445-2100 today.
