COVID-19 Trends for 2020

Posted On: May 6th, 2020 9:35PM

Hello, I would like to show you a quick snapshot of what the COVID-19 Pandemic is doing to the housing market.  In plan sight we see normal home sells that are trending currently.   Don't get me wrong there has been a liitle down turn on New Listings due to the the pandemic, home owners have taken a pause to rethink their options and wait it out.   There has been small spike in listings in the last few days as the days go on....but I assure your saftey is my priority during these challenging times.  

 

Selling or Buying is only for those families that are in need to make a move NOW.  I have been idle to see what the direction the virus is taking and how we will move forward with our semi-normal lifestyle again.  I take great precaucion when viewing homes with clienst or walking through a selling presentation.  I have added a couple of charts to show you the Trends in the Sacramento County Area on homes on the Market and homes Sold and Pending.  

 

I assure you as the we progress through the year we will see the ups and downs in the market.  I hope we can connect if you need help navigating through these tough times of SIP and the COVID-19 pandemic.  

 

Please feel free to call if you have any questions about selling in this Market, or if you know someone that is looking to sell today!   

 

Thank you! 

Chris Varela
