TODAY'S MARKET NEWS. Rural Home Prices Jump The Coronavirus pandemic seems to be pushing homeowners from cities into rural and suburb areas. According to a July study by Redfin, before the pandemic 9% of homebuyers said they were looking for a home in rural areas. However, as the pandemic stretches into its 6th month in the U.S., 19% now say they are considering more rural options. Redfin Economist Taylor Marr notes, Now we’re seeing concrete evidence that rural and suburban... neighborhoods are more attractive to homebuyers than the city, partly because working from home means commute times are no longer a major factor for some people. This increase in demand has driven up home prices in rural areas by 11.3% Y-o-Y and 9.2% in suburban areas.2 New Construction on the Rise New construction of both single-family and multifamily homes jumped in July up 23% Y-o-Y. This is almost back to pre-pandemic levels from the first quarter. The rise in multifamily units may lead to an oversupply of apartment buildings, especially in cities as consumers are looking to move to suburban and rural areas. This oversupply could lead to sluggish apartment rent growth moving forward. However, the rise in new single-family units is beneficial as inventory remains low down 19% from a year ago. Inventory shortages should be expected for the rest of 2020 and if these trends continue, there may be a more balanced market in 2021.3 See more

The waiting periods and some of the rules have been loosened to allow for more relief to reach workers more quickly. If you are unable to work because you are sick or quarantined, you can file a Disability Insurance (DI) claim. If you are unable to work because you are caring for someone who is ill, you can file a Paid Family Leave (PFL) claim. If you are unable to work (or your hours are reduced) because your employer has closed or because of school closures, you can file an Unemployment Insurance (UI) claim.
