Myth: The Real Estate Market will crash this year.
Real Truth: With so much uncertainty about the job market, it has some people worried about the possibility of a real estate market crash this year. Some are wondering-will we start seeing a flurry of foreclosures and short-sales? There is also always a bit of uncertainty when a new administration begins-a bit of a waiting period to see what we can be expecting all around. With government stimulus packages and the current health crisis expected to take a positive turn mid-year, experts are expecting the job market to follow with an upward trajectory.
