The COVID-19 pandemic poses serious health and economic challenges. The extent of the harm also touched the confidence of even the biggest economic drivers of the real estate market: homebuilders.
It was April when the prospects of shuttered businesses and a prolonged order for individuals to stay at home caused the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index to drop 42 points.
In more than 30 years, nothing of this sort had occurred.
The 30-point reading recovered slightly in May, increasing by 7 points. By June, the index had soared by 21 points, which is just 14 points shy of where it had finished in March.
The turnaround may be a sign that a post-pandemic recovery will rely on the health of the housing industry, which continues to show progress.
Experts believe that as the nation resumes economic activity in earnest, housing will be well received by consumers.
An increasing number of mortgage applications, falling interest rates, and growing consumer and builder confidence are all ingredients for a successful recovery and healthy market moving forward.
