Home sales continue to surge with buyers seeking safe havens and record-low mortgage rates. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 positivity rate is also rapidly increasing in many states, making in-person showings risky. Since May, the National Association of REALTORS® has been working with researchers at Engagious to track buyer and seller attitudes during the pandemic. The research shows that buyers and sellers are increasingly comfortable engaging in the real estate market, but they still have safety concerns; you build trust when you can explain what youâre doing to minimize in-person contact and ensure listings are safe and sanitized.
In the latest âWindow to the Lawâ video, NARâs legal team offers updated showing guidance, along with tips for creating a COVID-19 prevention plan and communicating it to clients. After you watch, read how your peers in the industry are stepping up to give buyers and sellers greater reassurance.
