Covid-19’s Devastating Effect on the Housing Market

I am not a pessimist; I am a realist or at least I tell myself this all the time.  I am not afraid to look at a situation and see the worst-case scenario as well as the best-case scenario, do some cranial connect the dots and move in the right direction.  With that in mind I, Damon Simon, see 10 years of doom and gloom for the larger part of the economy including most of the real estate market.

Real estate prices are going to fall, you will need to learn how to make money in a distressed market. Are these the mad ramblings of a quarantined real estate analysts and investor, or a genius’s glimpse into an accurate crystal ball? Read my full article on The Effect of Covid-19’s Economic Shut-Down on the Housing Market and decide!

Covid-19 is NOT the End of the World!

Tony Stern paints a brighter picture than I ever could with his slightly more optimistic predictions for Covid-19’s fallout and our markets:

“Damon resides in an office with his team some 20 miles north of my team’s office in Boca Raton, something I am grateful for given his present demeanor.

I have a lot of respect for Damon, he has this annoying habit of being right on a lot of things, but not everything and the keyword here is everything! When Damon showed me a copy of his article for this month’s ‘Peel’ I immediately started to lookup local therapists to purge what my eyes had cast themselves upon.”

Read the rest of Tony Stern’s post-Covid-19 predictions before you gargle the Drano after reading my bleaker darker (and probably right) post Covid-19 analysis.

Our attorney Jeff Harrington of Harrington Legal Alliance shares how to navigate various lien encumbrances after auction, and when to call an attorney.
