My prediction: Corona increases > second shut down > More unemployment > more loan forbearances > flood of business bankruptcy's and loan defaults > banks have big problem > fed bails out > some banks fail > real estate prices stay the same or go up until early 2021 > Fed will probably do another cares act and extent forbearance period > then it is possible the dollar will continue to devalue > then inflation will occur > real estate prices will go way up > US goes from cash to Crypto > politically, either way the election goes we will have instability and unrest.
