Realtors expect market rebound post-COVID-19

Realtors expect market rebound post-COVID-19

While the COVID-19 outbreak is expected to slow spring homebuying activity, many real estate professionals are hopeful that the market will rebound later in the year.

The majority of respondents to a survey by the National Association of Realtors said they believed that buyers and sellers would return to the market as delayed transactions after the outbreak ends. Fifty-nine percent said that buyers are delaying home purchases for a couple of months, while 57% said that sellers were delaying sales for a couple of months.

“Home sales will decline this spring season because of unique economic and social consequences resulting from the coronavirus outbreak, but much of the activity looks to reappear later in the year,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist. “Home prices will remain stable because of a pandemic-induced reduction in inventory coupled with less immediate concerns over foreclosures.”

Other findings of the NAR survey include:

  • 90% of respondents said that buyer interest declined due to the outbreak, and 80% cited a decline in the number of homes on the market
  • Home prices are expected to hold steady after a robust rise prior to the pandemic. Seventy-two percent of respondents said that sellers have not reduced their process to attract buyers. However, 63% said buyers were expecting prices to decline due to less competition in the current environment
  • While residential tenants are struggling to pay rent, 46% of property managers reported being able to accommodate tenants who couldn’t pay, and 27% of individual landlords said the same

Does a Loan Applicants Age Matter?

Does a Loan Applicants Age Matter?


Does a Loan Applicants Age Matter? Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, a loan applicant’s age doesn’t matter – even people who think, “There’s no way I’ll live long enough to pay this off.”

NEW YORK – Older Americans may not realize they can still qualify for a mortgage. Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, a loan applicant’s age doesn’t matter – even those who think “There’s no way I’ll live long enough to pay this off.”

Mary Babinski, a senior loan officer with Motto Mortgage Champions in Trinity, Fla., told The Wall Street Journal that when a 97-year-old applicant came in to inquire about a mortgage, he was surprised he could still qualify for a 30-year loan. But older borrowers are eligible for loans that will expire as late as their 130th birthdays.

In addition, more lenders are promoting loans to retirees that qualify with special lending programs geared to them.

Borrowers over the age of 65 comprise about 10% of all mortgages originated each year, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

It’s not just about age. Without a full-time job in retirement, some older adults wonder how they’ll qualify with only limited monthly earnings. Still, lenders continue qualifying older adults for a mortgage based on their pensions, Social Security, dividends and the interest they have available. They’re also showing more willingness to work with retirees to help qualify them based on either their income, distributions or assets.

Jumbo mortgages aren’t off the table either. Richard Barenblatt, a mortgage specialist with GuardHill Financial in New York, was able to get an 83-year-old retired Manhattan co-op owner a $1 million, 10-year, interest-only adjustable-rate mortgage for a refinance at a “highly competitive rate.”
