Hi All,I recently bought a condo in the Salem Neck/Collin's Cove area of Salem after falling head over heels in love with the city 3 years ago. 

They are correct that the burden of proof falls on you.

Economics depends on studies of past human actions/reactions to formulate models of action to predict future events, which then largely fall on their face as humans screw up the model by doing what they do best - act irrationally.

I just want to know how to analyze like how to find out if the demand is high, how do you know if homes are selling fast, how to find out if demand for property in any area rising or falling or how to find out if a neighbourhood is hot or not, I've discussed with a lot of people and they recommend me to use city-data.com which is an excellent website to know about the market but even in that website I don't know what to look for like if the population is 20000 in a city is it good or not or what it should be or what should I type in google to know about a specific market or place?

Right now, things are being artificially held in check with the stop gaps the government is putting in place to keep the bottom from falling out.

The bottom is going to fall out of this economy.

Last year I partnered with a banking buddy of mine to purchase a home in CT, cash for $175k (I finance it, he does all the work - we split profits), but after a more critical inspection, he found water damage that ultimately led to the deal falling through.

Obviously with the pandemic there is quite a lot of uncertainty and the possibility of school not resuming right away in the fall.

CSU has gone to online classes for the summer AND fall, and I have heard rumblings that this will be very difficult on universities. 

I have been seeing a lot of very nicely priced converted CONEX shipping container offices and homes on sale during this economy and also due to current economy nice falling prices for land.
