Clearly you had some good foresight a year ago.In general, I agree with your sentiment that things will get worse, but I do disagree on general timelines.First, I cannot tell if you mean recession from a traditional standpoint (2 consecutive quarters of GDP decline), the current National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) definition (a significant decline in economic activity spread across the economy, lasting more than a few months, normally visible in real GDP, real income, employment, industrial production, and wholesale-retail sales) or a general "emotional" descriptor.

This has increased demand for my renovated C-class 1-beds with relatively high rents, even factoring for the people taking themselves out of the market for now.3) With Ohio being a more proactive state in responding to the health crisis, frankly we haven't felt much of the impact of COVID-19 in Cincinnati (Hamilton County) yet and people aren't taking the quarantine as seriously as people in other parts of the state, much less the country.I'm grateful to be considered an essential business (Realtor/property management), but right now it feels like the vast majority of Cincinnatians are taking every excuse to continue with business-as-usual.
