As one can imagine, I’ve been receiving numerous inquiries on how the coronavirus will impact the Boston downtown condo market.
First, I like all others, have no idea how long this virus will last. So I feel a little uncomfortable to opine on a a virus that I know little about. However, there are some observations I’ve taken note of that you may be interested in regarding the Boston condo sellers mindset.
Boston Condo Sellers fear of the cornonavirus
From the Sellers perspective I’ve noticed a slow down of new listings coming onto the market compared to this time last year. For the most part, St. Patrick’s Day is also the start of the Spring real estate sales season. As stated I’ve seen a significant slow down in new listings, but considering the circumstances this is a natural outcome. Sellers are being very thoughtful about allowing strangers into their homes who have the potential of carrying the virus. Sellers, like all of us our number one concern is the safety on our love ones.
