 The real estate market is all about supply and demand. During times of economic downturns, it may seem like the first thing to take a dive would be the housing market. However, history has something else to say about that. While there have been specific crises involving the housing market, in other historical economic events the real estate market fared well and recovered quickly. Here’s what experts are saying about the impact of COVID-19 on housing.
