Stokes JrIf it wasnt the virus, it would be the bombing in Iran.

Fear of job losses, fear of higher taxes, fear of a virus, fear of having something taken away from you like a gun (double fear, because first they take something from you and now you are left without protection) are powerful manipulators. 

For example many people in Germany believe that Chacelor Angela Merkl instigated the virus when she was visiting the Wuhan lab a few years ago.

There wouldn't be instantaneous foreclosures due to the virus shutdowns in February. 

I never actually use that margin account (until recently I used a small portion of it to make a few buys at the recent bottoms of the corona virus pandemic), but the reason I did is because you take a loan out from it anytime, very similar to a line of credit.

Other realtors are reporting multiple offers, no slowdown in sales, etc. on various message boards and Facebook groups.Where I think it will impact housing the most is in the higher luxury price ranges, as those buyers and sellers are usually business owners and have a lot of their net worth tied up in other assets more affected by the virus and it's impact on the economy.But bread and butter homes sub $300k?

Plus, tenants who know how to connect too well and take advantage of the bandwidth.Plus, there could even be a little potential liability.... in what they download, if they send spam or have a virus that sends spam, and perhaps even if you don't provide a secure network.

But I also think it’s worth seeing which areas get hit worst with their virus itself as that could move markets.

All was going very well until this virus hit.  

Here are mine doing SEO.And this is smack on the middle of the Corona virus.
