I have a unique history, growing up in the Toronto, Canada region, I am in one of the hottest real estate markets in the WORLD! 

It’s almost as if that property is even stronger after Covid, which I feel like is a trend in many places around here as people opt to travel closer to home.

@Jeffrey MorelBetter off looking at the past trends on your market than waiting for the elections. 

I lack knowledge to speak confidently and intelligently about the local market, and local trends. 

They sent me mls listings but don't offer good insight into rental trends or neighborhood quality or property investing in general (maybe that's not their job...?).  

That being said retail metrics are very different and require very specific local knowledge so your best bet is to target markets with the highest population growth and reach out to retail brokers to understand demographics and trends

Just be aware that the forbearance period is trending upward in 2020 where people can file for extensions up to 12 months on making payments, so like anything else when investing, there are risks.

I was curious to see if other markets have seen a similar trend. 

They know the market trends and what's going for how much.I hope that helps!

The trends of people moving out of NYC into the surrounding burbs has pushed people who were originally in those areas further up and out so there is a trickle effect there.
