Do you guys have any recommendations for reliable real estate market prediction/trend websites or advice for starting out during this crazy time? 

Much of the country is in an upward trending market right now, but in some of the big cities such as Los Angeles, there is a buyers market beginning in some sectors such as apartments.  

Hi @Sara Simpson - I realize you asked about Single family homes (which follow slight different demographics and trends) but for what it is worth, CBRE recently put out Q2 2020 statistics on Total Investment Volume ($) Year Over Year for multifamily properties in the Top 20 US markets. 

Darien is seeing the same trends.

Just curious to know if anyone else is seeing this trend.

@Tawanda ThomasThanks for your input as well, Tawanda, I hope this is not a trend that happens for Fix n Flip investors???

Any tips, tricks or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Then you want to study the trends in the area and use a combination of commercial agent for more units, residential investor-friendly agent for 4-plex and less, and experienced large-scale wholesalers.

That's the trick, I think - meeting other people doing what you want to do, in your chosen market, and getting referrals from them.

“We just want to get away” is the common phrase and totally applies to the times of our day.In the turistic Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and NC bookings compared to last year have increased by 67%. 17% of guests are state locals while 50% come from nearby states.A common and important trend we are going to see in the new normal for travel is reservations being processed much closer to the planned travel date, the reluctance to book in advance is up in the air as guests fear they might lose their money since there is always the possibility of an uptick in virus cases.This conservative attitude is a logical response to the uncertainty caused by the pandemic which has reduced American’s expenses to levels unseen since the 1980s.New norms are needed during these times, the most important one will be: Flexible cancellation policies and cleanlinessIt is well known that cleanliness will be a key feature for travelers in the new normal.
