Real Estate Trends Post-Pandemic: What’s Changing and What’s Next

Pricing, Supply, and Demand in a Reset Market

After a whirlwind of bidding wars, many markets are recalibrating, neighborhood by neighborhood. Some suburban pockets hold gains thanks to limited supply, while others normalize. Tell us: where are you seeing price resilience or softness?

Sellers paused during uncertainty, then returned in waves. New listings meet selective demand, making presentation and timing crucial. Share your experience listing or searching—did strategic staging or a weekday launch make the difference?

The rent-versus-buy decision now hinges on lifestyle flexibility, not just numbers. Hybrid work, school proximity, and future mobility weigh heavily. Comment with your approach: stability, savings, or the freedom to pivot quickly?
