How Will the Housing Industry Fare After COVID-19?

The news is heavy these days. With cities and states with “shelter at home” orders and uncertainty around every corner, it can be hard to conceptualize the end of the pandemic. But it will come. And when it does, the housing market will stand on its feet despite the punches thrown at it this season, according to John Burns, CEO of John Burns Real Estate, and Dean Wehrli, the company’s vice president.
