REAL ESTATE
THE HOUSING
MARKET DURING
THE PANDEMIC
By Linda Ross Preston
A roller coaster ride in the dark is wild
and terrifying, but there’s always
a light at the end of the tunnel,
which holds true for our current
circumstances as well. It’s important to
understand and remember that an economic
recession does not necessarily indicate a
housing recession.
Mortgage rates remain historically low.
The expectation is that they will remain
low, although the integrity of lending
market is going to be sensitive to mortgage
forbearances. If you’re able to pay your
mortgage, think twice before requesting
forbearance. Make sure you understand
exactly what forbearance is before utilizing it.
The real estate industry is considered
essential. Real estate agents, home inspectors,
title companies, real estate attorneys, and
others connected to the industry are still
working and we are able to efficiently
transact.
Real estate remains a sound, appealing
investment when the stock markets tumble,
driving demand and acting as a source
of opportunity for investors. While the
pandemic will undoubtedly hamper sales
during the short term, the housing market
is poised to bounce back relatively quickly
as long as we’re able to effectively navigate
through this over the next few months with
sound policy. The Tampa Bay area is still
showing solid sales data over the past two
months, and the draw of our great weather
and beautiful beaches will undoubtedly act
as a buoy for our housing market.
The ability to adapt and overcome will
be paramount this year, requiring equal
measures of skill, ingenuity, knowledge,
and creativity. Remember, if you can find
your spouse online, you can find your house
online. Hang in there and stay positive! 9
