Is this the start of the recession
Dow is down 1000, 10 year is falling off a cliff, but people are still paying rent!
I do worry that this virus is going to bring the global economy to a significant slowdown, but will this hurt real estate?
My thought is inventory is tight and rates are gowing lower. I see US real estate getting a bump as stocks tumble this summer. What say you??

This is a blip in my opinion. Overreaction due to 24 hour new crisis, fearmongering, etc.... Coronavirus will be a non-issue in 2 months and economy back to humming long. Check back May 1st. Old news by then... I hope! :)
