Looking Forward

“The real estate market is forecasted to finish 2020 with growing strength.” 

Even with all of the chaos and hurdles in the country right now, homeownership rates have actually risen. Despite Covid-19, the housing market is continuing to improve as Americans work towards buying and selling homes.

Along with that, Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, NAR and the MBA all predict home sales to increase significantly as 2021 approaches.

There may be many different challenges for all of us with the pandemic, but homeownership doesn’t have to be! We can have confidence in the real estate market throughout the rest of this difficult year.

It’s always hip to buy a new home! Get started today!
