A look into Austin MSA related to real estate before & after the COVID-19 pandemic, and into the future.I wrote a similar paper almost a year ago today, good cross reference for this read.Leading up to and continuing through the “Stay at Home” order, which went into effect Tuesday, March 24th — the sellers market went from red hot to, “what do we do next.”Investment buyers across the board repositioned themselves — with iBuyers like Zillow and OpenDoor stopping purchasing completely, large funds lowered buy price requirements by up to 10%, and local investors were waiting for the dust to settle for the most part.A 10% drop in buy price standards is substantial and a direct reflection of how low demand was in mid-March through April.Speaking from a realtors perspective, throughout all of this and despite realtors being deemed essential, the COVID-19 etiquette/standards took some time to develop.Every governing body related to real estate was looking into and implementing best standards and practices for real estate related job functions.As a result, listing activity was down immediately — April saw a drop of 21.6% in number of sales year-over-year, while May saw the biggest dip in year-over-year sales at 29.2%.
