This is why we've pulled out of Ontario in favour of more balanced jurisdictions.BC is just as bad; I heard a story on the news yesterday where a snowbird rented out her house for 6 months while away.

That said, his employer has been in the news and is having major financial issues and I am not just thinking about whether he has a job today but what about in 2 months from now when all the major players in the clothing retail industry are on the brink of collapse. 

US News and other local publications will have that information and how they derive to that ranking class. 

Sounds like you have not had that issue, which is great news. 

We live in Virginia if that matters.Chesapeake, Suffolk, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk.

As long as the supply and demand remain at the same levels in this market then the prices will remain stable.News media has the ability to affect the mind of the buyers and if they hold back because of news then the declines can occur.

I got news for you....you will probably need to come out of pocket to actually pay whatever agent you hire, as a $50k transaction is a loss for an agent.

Good news is we sould see sellers come back to the market after the lock down ends and provide more inventory - if you are interested in the data more here in my May Milwaukee market update video.When a seller has multiple offers and has to decide which one to pick, the FHA and VA offers are often the first ones to put to the side.

Yes the daily news about audits of the PPP program and long term tainting of one's business who got PPP is an interesting issue and damned if you do and damned if you don't situation. 

@Renata Johnson  Great news is your first investment experiences is usually the worst, If you can still get out of this with little loss,  that would be the best bet.
