Home sales across the country are down due to the coronavirus. However, interest in buying a home is on the rise in many markets. In April, Zillow reported that page views on for-sale listings were up 18% year-over-year. This is a huge change from the drop in home views experienced in mid-to-late March. Not only are many Americans feeling the itch to look for a new home now, but many are taking the next step and connecting with real estate agents. This signals that home sales and corresponding requested mortgages are likely to start increasing. Markets that are particularly having a lot of interest include Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Atlanta, and Miami. To see a full chart, see this press release from Zillow.
