The 2020 pandemic brought with it one of the worst public health and economic crises this world has seen in recent history. The parallel crises and the mandatory stay-at-home orders from the U.S. government to curb the spread of the virus resulted in many people scrambling to cover expenses as their incomes were abruptly cut off or drastically reduced. As a result, people started forgoing any expenses apart from the bare essentials, which had a significant impact on various markets and industries, especially home values and sales.
The real estate market of Texas was one of the most dynamic in the country. The state broke the record for the numbers of houses sold and median prices five consecutive years up till 2019. However, by April 2020, the real estate market started slowing down as housing experts noticed a decrease in home showings, and permits from new construction also started to drop.
The Dallas Texas real estate market experienced a 22% slide in home sales in April and a further 32% decrease in yearly home sales. Condominiums and townhomes were hit harder compared to single-family homes, and sales of existing homes fell to their lowest level in May 2020 since 2020.
So, what does the future hold for Dallas’ real estate market in the post-pandemic era? According to experts and top real estate economists, housing is expected to be the leader in the future as the country recovers from the effects of the pandemic. The prediction is that North Texas will again see record sales and rising prices, which it was doing as we were heading into the pandemic. In fact, home prices in North Texas are already recovering rapidly as the demand for houses is rising again after the economic crises brought on by the pandemic.
As the effects of the pandemic are subsiding slowly, Dallas remains a job hub and will continue to attract out-of-towners who are looking to buy homes as they settle in the city. The demand for suburban homes is also increasing as city dwellers are looking to move up and invest in homes that will be comfortable to live in, in case of another lockdown situation. Remote jobs and work-from-home are also becoming common practices, which has also contributed to a steady increase in the demand for comfortable housing.
Sellers need to invest in innovative sales tactics to keep up with the increasing demand for property in Dallas, attracting potential buyers who will fetch better prices for the property. This includes hiring better real estate agents, using online marketing to increase the visibility of the property, and creating attractive online real estate experiences for potential buyers.
