Probably wont' see a direct price increase for a new garage door but you will probably see a price decrease if it is in truly terrible shape.  

I ran some numbers in 2019, and IIRC it looked like down payments were decreasing compared to 2017, an indication that people were buying before they had previously planned.

. -- Distance from my home (the apartments I bought are within 10 minutes of home)-- I actually appreciated higher maintenance expenses because high NOI decreases NOI and lower NOI equals lower sales point.

For example, If I rent out a room that is not shared the rent will be $650 but if it is a shared room the rent would decrease to $475.

No one really cares about the closing time besides you the seller, and holding and closing costs can add up quickly decreasing your estimated net profit if the closing date keeps getting pushed. 

I also look into potential economic trends like, new job growth, relocation of companies, overall increase/decrease in employment.

For me it was always this question and add to that how do you start if you already have loans to pay back, a family, and expenses you are already trying to decrease.

When do you expect it to settle and what are your contractors saying the decrease percentage wise will be?

Where I invest the property values decrease by around 8-10%.

Still a great profit over 1.5 years.If you decide to rent to one family, you should prolly expect your rents to decrease which may potentially make this property not cash-flow.
