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 Curb Appeal Affect Home Value?

How Much Does Curb Appeal Affect Home Value?


How Much Does Curb Appeal Affect Home Value? Homes with high curb appeal tend to sell for an average of 7% more than similar houses with an uninviting exterior, according to a joint study by the University of Alabama and the University of Texas at Arlington. Further, the premium rises to as high as 14% in slower real estate markets with greater housing inventory, shows the study, which was published in the Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics.

Researchers examined Google Street View photos and sales data from 88,980 properties in the Denver metro area to find how much curb appeal matters to a home’s value. The researchers found that the curb appeal of neighboring properties also has an impact on a home’s value. The appearance of the yard next door accounts for about a third of a home’s overall premium, the study notes.

It’s common knowledge that curb appeal affects a home’s value, but quantifying the financial impact is a challenge, Sriram Villupuram, a senior author of the study and an associate professor at UT Arlington, told The Wall Street Journal. “It’s observable, but not quantifiable,” Villupuram says. The researchers manually scored a set of properties using Google Street View on a scale of one to four (one indicates lowest curb appeal; four indicates highest).

Researchers considered homes to have low curb appeal if the property includes blemishes like a broken pavement or overgrown grass. Homes were considered to have high curb appeal if they included features like well-kept lawns and professional landscaping.

Many appraisers evaluate a home based on interior features like the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, square footage, and home improvements. But Villupuram told the Journal that the study’s ultimate goal is to create an algorithm that could be used to automate assessments of curb appeal. Villupuram says that could make it easier for large investors, banks, and institutions to include such assessments in their property appraisals.
