What do you guys think of the real estate market in 2021?


Sep 3, 2020, 7:07 AM

Most projections I can find call for a down year in 2021. I realize all markets aren't the same, but what do you guys think overall?

I don't see it falling,

more of a flattening. I think the market see-saws up & down with increases in Covid-19 infections.

The market has been on a tear for 10 years, & that's an unprecedented run. So it has to come down at some point, right? I don't see it coming down in '21, just a leveling out. '22 is where I see a major drop occurring (hoping it's not a crash).

COYS & Cheers

I am looking to buy a home in possibly in 6 months, but I am starting to think I should take my time. Hmmm

You should buy Now

Bi-Hi, Sell-Lo

Or something like that, right?

But rates are low. If you have cash, buy later

If borrowing, buy meow.

That's a tough decision given the current environment. My only advice would be to be ready to pull the trigger on a home when you feel it's right.

There's far too many data points for anyone to even begin to look at & try to decipher the housing market code. I wish I had more information for you, but this is such a personal purchase & only you can decide what a house is worth to you at that moment. Good luck & keep us updated!

Continued climb....

Two reasons.

1 - Demand. COVID-19 slowed new construction causing a large drop in supply and new construction looks to remain slow due to material shortages.

2 - Interest rates. 30-yr rates for new construction are as low as 2.375% and refi's/purchases as low as 2.5%. This is causing a bunch of people to upgrade.

Depends on who takes office...

Trump wins, the market remains strong. (I work for a real estate firm and we were having a record year prior to COVID and sales are steady now. People at this point holding off until after the election, at least in the luxury market).

my personal theory


Sep 3, 2020, 10:45 AM

I think we'll see prices surging in counties outside of typical suburbs of big metro-areas. Suburban counties will continue to hold value, slowly creeping up.

The sweet spot for investment, in my opinion, is developments that are one or two counties removed from a metro area, and with an hour to hour and a half commute to a major airport.

I think there will be a significant amount of families that would see value in that, and given the changing climates in where and how people are working, I think we'll continue to see people moving.
