COVID-19 has impacted the real estate market mainly by causing substantially fewer sellers to list their homes for sale. Below are some graphs that show the initial decrease in various market activities and then their recovery on a weekly basis.
As illustrated, the number of homes listed for sale per week dropped in March after the stay at home advisory was enacted.
HOMES PENDING PER WEEK
The number of homes placed under agreement (contracts accepted) dropped in the second week of March, when normally at that time pendings are increasing. The decline lasted until the second week of April, but in the past two weeks has gained steam.
HOMES SOLD PER WEEK
The graph illustrates the number of homes sold per week.
