New listings fell nearly 45% nationwide in April, as well as asking prices flattening, buyer demand declining and homes staying on the market longer, according to a new report from realtor.com. Should you be concerned or was this expected based on the stay at home orders that were in place?
What is Zillow predicting for home prices in 2020?
Zillow is predicting that home prices will fall 2-3% in 2020.
As a comparison, home prices dropped just more than 27% nationally during the Great Recession of 2008.
Zillow is also predicting a very fast 50-60% decline in home sales but expect a recovery after spring into 2021.
They go on to say “Housing fundamentals are strong — much more so than they were leading into the Great Recession — and that bodes well for housing in general,” said Svenja Gudell, Zillow’s chief economist. “Despite the difficulties, we’re seeing several signs that there is still a good amount of demand for housing, and buyers, sellers and agents are growing more comfortable moving transactions forward where possible.”
