If you’ve tried to buy a house during this time, you may be surprised at how quickly viable homes are being snatched up. Despite the pandemic, housing demand continues to rise. Some experts indicate it is 25% above pre-pandemic levels.

Homes are selling at higher prices in part due to new listings being down by an average of approximately 27.1% from a year ago, as Zillow reported. The following chart shows the decreased percentage of listings for key cities in each state. With more buyers than sellers, this low inventory has obviously maintained an optimal seller’s market.

While the quantity of stock is lower than last year, there are different predictions for how the second half of 2020 will pan out as well as the beginning of 2021. For buyers, there may still be heavy competition for a home, but the upside is the low mortgage r

#AREIS

There are many ways to invest in property and the community around you.  When you attend an Alternative Real Estate Investing Strategies meeting, members of FFREIA discuss a variety of means to invest.

Are you interested in learning more about property investment? Or do you know a lot about alternative investing and have a desire to teach others what you’ve learned? If you are at either end of this range, you won’t want to miss the AREIS meetings!

In a recent article, G. Brian Davis discusses some out-of-the-box ideas when it comes to alternative real estate investing like real estate crowdfunding websites, notes, and real estate syndications. Whatever you choose, when it comes to property investing, it’s important to keep informed and up-to-date on legislation surrounding each type of investing.

As April leaves and May greets us, we are seeing a huge decrease in new lease signings around the country. With a lot of counties and states extending the re-open date to June, are we going to see an even bigger dip in new lease signings?

How can we care for our tenants while staying in business as a landlord?

These are just some questions that may come to mind that you can bring up for discussion at our Landlord Support Group meetings, with the most recent this Thursday, May 14th from 9 AM to 10 AM.

With over 17 million people unemployed during this time, it is making a lot of sense why we are seeing such a decrease in new leases being signed. We are seeing more and more people not being able to pay rent. A survey from the National Multifamily Housing Council shows that around 31% of renters couldn’t pay their rent by April 1st . The council is only expecting the numbers to be worse for the rent due on May 1st . Over 13.4 million housing units were surveyed to collect this data.

Everyone seems to be struggling during this time, some more than others. If you’re a landlord and need advice, guidance, or even j
