COVID-19 Real Estate Impact Survey

​The Virginia REALTORS and National Association of REALTORS has conducted a survey of REALTORS to gauge the impact of COVID-19 on home buyers and sellers. Here are the survey results:   Click Here for a pdf version.

While some buyers are hoping that prices will come down during this crises, the data shows that sellers are not reducing prices at this time.  While nearly 28% of sellers in the United States are reducing prices, only 12% are across Virginia.

​The expectations of buyers across Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley are more congruent with those of sellers.  While 63% of buyers expect lower prices nationally, less than 30% of buyers in Virginia expect lower prices.

​The entry into homes has been a concern for both buyers and sellers during the COVID-19 crises.  REALTORS report that 59% of buyers nationally have decided to delay their search and 51% across Virginia.  There are still many buyers active in the market.
