We’re well aware that we are currently venturing into the unknown, not only as it relates to investing in real estate but in life as we know it. The COVID-19 pandemic is unavoidable. All of us have to address and deal with it in our own ways, personally and professionally.

As a nation, we’re moving through uncharted territory. The first modern pandemic is spreading in the United States. As a result of COVID-19, we’ve seen emergency declarations, travel bans, stock market disruptions, ailing businesses, and canceled events — from sports to conventions and worship gatherings to schools.

If you’ve been keeping up with real estate market buzz, you have undoubtedly heard the rumors of a housing recession on the horizon. We ourselves have made mention of this possibility. For many of us, even thinking of a recession gives us flashbacks to the Great Recession. That was a devastating time for homeowners and investors of all kinds. Though opportunity arose from the crisis, it was a tough time for everyone.
