Springtime is usually a time when home buying activity increases. However, this spring, the home sale process has changed amid COVID-19.
The good news is that online home showings are up. Homebuyers are still active, and demand is there. Virtual home tours and increased use of video is the new standard in today’s pandemic environment. Home sellers now exchange information, review market activity, and sign documents electronically. Vacant homes are getting more attention from prospective buyers. Buyers, in general, are making decisions faster, viewing only three houses on average, down from nine.
