Coronavirus is spreading in New York City. But when it comes to real estate, fear of contagion only slightly trumps fear of missing out on a deal.
Covid-19 and the economic fallout that has come with it are putting some homebuyers and sellers in the Twin Cities on edge.
Houston-area home sales experienced another double-digit gain in February as buyers came out in droves to take advantage of low mortgage rates.
Consumer sentiment for home buying stayed near its record high behind low mortgage rates and a strong job market, though the declining stock markets and COVID-19 concerns may change that soon, according to Fannie Mae.
Even as concern over the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus mounts, the most recent data on area home sales from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service shows the market for Seattle-area residential realty remains hot.
Above-average snowfall and rising concerns about the coronavirus didn't put a damper on local home sales last month, according to the Denver Metro Association of Realtors.
While home price appreciation has lost some momentum, tight inventory and low rates could drive housing values further upward this spring if the coronavirus remains contained, according to CoreLogic.
