How has COVID-19 impacted Pennsylvania’s real estate economy?In a matter of weeks, the working world moved from business as usual to travel bans, office closures, and working from home.
The residential real estate market, which had been booming before COVID-19, went on lockdown—no construction, no appraisals and no new listings.
As the state goes from red to yellow to green, glimmers of hope have emerged that suggest a market recovery won’t be too far behind.
