2021 REAL ESTATE MARKET PREDICTIONS While 2020 was quite a rollercoaster due to the pandemic, it ended strong for the real estate market. All signs point in a positive direction for real estate in 2021. Interest rates are expected to remain under 3% which allows buyers greater purchasing power. This will inevitably lead to more buyers entering the market this year. Compounded by a continued lack of inventory, property values, and sales prices will continue to rise. The pandemic has also spurred two trends which are expected to continue into 2021. The first is the migration from cities to both suburbs and also to vacation towns. With many companies going virtual not only for the foreseeable future but many permanently, buyers are embracing the freedom of living wherever they desire. Somewhat hand in hand with this is the second trend which is the need for larger homes and multigenerational homes. Our homes, have by necessity in many cases, become our offices, our gyms, our recreational centers and so we need more space to accommodate this. According to the National Association of Realtors president, Charles Oppler, “Overall, residential real estate will continue to be an important driver of our nation’s economic recovery.” As we look toward Covid-19 being brought under control, job conditions improving and housing remaining strong, we are confident that 2021 will be an exciting year.
