RE: Don't believe the media on property prices

in LeoFinance5 years ago

Before covid housing in our city was selling as fast as it was listed. Mostly because of the gentrification of the city. I've seen several listings in the neighborhood and a couple weeks later they are still sitting there whereas they would have sold by now if not to a homeowner who wanted to me close to downtown but to investors who are raking in thousands on rents from college students. I am more wondering if people weren't scared off from the riots as housing outside my neighborhood is still selling relatively fast. Another thing is even getting a hold of a mortgage broker right now, I've left messages as I've been thinking about selling-buying but none return the calls, I think they are backlogged with people looking for forbearance on their loans due to being laid off and unable to get unemployment in a timely manner. I guess here you can ask for a forbearance if your home is a federally insured home.
