It is my duty to keep you updated on what's going on in the real estate market. Recently, I've had questions about the impact Covid-19 is having on real estate. I want address some of those concerns.
目前收到很多关于新冠病毒肺炎是否对地产市场的影响的问题，我觉得我有必要为大家提供最新的市场信息和解答相关的问题。
Question: How has Covid-19 impacted the real estate market?
问题：新冠病毒肺炎如何影响地产市场？
Answer:
So far it has had very little impact. The sales that were under contract are closing as scheduled. Homes that are priced right are still selling quickly, often with multiple offers. The buyers who are looking for a home right now are serious buyers. The looky-loos are not out looking right now.
答：
到目前为止只是受到微少的影响，买卖双方已签定的确定合约还是按照既定的日期进行顺利交易，没有出现违约现象。价格合理的房屋仍然出售的很快，仍然以抢购出售。现在在市场上购买房屋的都是认真和刚需的买家，那些观望和非认真的买家不适合这个市场。
Question: Can you guarantee that it is safe to list my home and have people through it?
问题：如果房子放在市场上让客人进出能保证安全吗？
Answer:
As your agent I'd be lying if I told you I could guarantee your safety. What I can guarantee is that I'll do everything I can to keep you & your family safe and still get your home sold. I start by taking great pictures & shooting a virtual home tour so that people can tour your home virtually before seeing it in person. In the realtor comments AND showing confirmations-they get a message telling them "Please DO NOT show the home: if you or your Buyer are exhibiting any cold & flu like symptoms likewise if they have been out of the country in the past 14 days or have had exposure to someone with Covid-19." The goal: limit unnecessary exposure.
答：
作为你的经纪，如果我告诉你那是100%安全的，那只能说我说谎。我只能保证的是我会尽一切努力确保你和你的家人的安全，并仍然可以将您的房屋出售。从一开始我就已经聘请了专业的摄影师为你的房子拍照，并把照片连同做好的幻灯上传在网上，为所有有意向的买家提供了网上虚拟看房。而且我们还会在看房的指引中阐明：如果客人有感冒以及新冠病毒肺炎症状和在过去14天内有过旅游经历的人禁止看房。目的是为了最大限制和阻止病毒进入你的房子。
Question: How do you think Covid-19 will impact the price of real estate going forward?
问题：你认为新冠病毒肺炎将会对房市的价格走向趋势有何影响？
Answer:
I wish I could predict the future. What I know. Right now there are more buyers wanting to buy than there are homes listed for sale. Home prices are still trending up due to lack of supply. So far, that has not changed, buyers are still out looking & writing offers. I believe that we'll see an overall economic slowdown which will put downward pressure on home prices. This will happen three to six months from now and may be offset by how government responds. If you're going to buy a home and stay in it five or more years, it is still a great time to buy. If you are moving up or down remember that you will be selling and buying in the same market. If you sell for more, you will pay more for your new home. If you sell for less, you will pay less for your new home. Reality is, everyone needs a place to live. The demand for mid-priced is still very strong. Even if we do see home prices drop it should not be a significant amount.
答：
我希望我能够预测未来。从目前的市场看，还是呈现供不应求的状况，由于房源的短缺，房屋的价格依然有向上的趋势。到目前为止这种现象还没有任何的改变，买家仍然在市场上活跃和下Offer。我相信我们看到的整体经济的放缓这将对房市造成下行的压力。这个现象将会是发生在3-6个月之后，但是也有可能将会被政府出台的政策和措施抵消。如果你打算买房并持有5年以上，现在将会仍然是一个很好的购买时机。如果你换房的话，在同一市场水平上，所有的不良因素都将会被抵消。目前市场呈现的是人们需要一个家来安居，中价房的需求仍然强烈，虽然我们看到房屋的价格有一点点的向下微调，但是这并不代表整体的房屋价格向下走的趋势。
