The Podcast Every Homeowner Needs to Hear - an Interview with Dr. Lawrence Yun #214
“There’s nothing to suggest just because we are hit with this pause button that automatically things will come apart.” – Dr. Yun In the current climate, there is a lot of misinformation and uncertainty in the marketplace. In this episode, Brian interviews NAR Chief Economist Dr. Lawrence Yun to get an update on the ongoing effects of the Coronavirus on the economy and housing. Topics discussed include why home prices are remaining steady, how agents are navigating the process and completing transactions, why real estate provides a hedge against inflation and why the house is still a valuable asset in high demand. READ FULL EPISODE TRANSCRIPT YOU WILL LEARN: What the latest statistics and data reveal about home sales and consumer behaviors. If there will be a Spring homebuying season. Where the home market will finish the year. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: NAR Flash Survey: Economic Pulse March 2020 Existing Home Sales Episode 201, This Too Shall Pass – an Interview with Dr. Lawrence Yun “The Complete Story of Civilization,” by Will Durant “How the Irish Saved Civilization,” by Thomas Cahill INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: “I think the first couple of weeks, there was a degree of shock factor.” – Dr. Yun “What I am seeing in recent weeks, the past couple of weeks, is that buyers are slowly coming back to the market. They're a little disappointed on the lack of inventory, but 70 percent of the workforce with secure employment they're looking at historically low mortgage rates and they're just looking for the right home that meets their needs.” – Dr. Yun “I think people would be surprised to see how much activity is actually going on in the market in real world terms.” – Brian Buffini “Trying to purchase a home and get the deal done is far safer than visiting grocery stores.” – Dr. Yun “When we survey potential buyers and potential sellers, they are indicating that they are not out of the market, but simply delaying the entry point. They just want an all-clear signal from the Governor before reentering the market.” – Dr. Yun “There’s no panic among home sellers.” – Dr. Yun “Buyers are acting normal; sellers are acting normal.” – Dr. Yun “There is still a great desire for people to buy, for people to sell and for people to own a home.” – Brian Buffini “I anticipate, for the year as a whole in 2020, the sales activity will be down about 10 percent to 15 percent.” – Dr. Yun “I think that home prices will not decline because of the inventory shortage that we have. There is no expectation by the buyers for any big discount.” – Dr. Yun “Going into 2021, we have all this pent-up demand. I think the sales will increase about 15 percent and the price is rising 3 to 5 percent.” – Dr. Yun “We have the political landscape, we have the media landscape and then we have some data.” – Brian Buffini “If we end up 2020 and we’ve lost 10 to 15 percent that would be remarkable and it would be fantastic and very acceptable for a bump in a year.” – Brian Buffini “For the current nationwide housing situation, we had a housing shortage before the pandemic and we have even acute shortage today because of not enough listings.” – Dr. Yun “This is an adversity. You go through the adversity but come out at the end, the other side, to say ‘I have more knowledge, I have more relationships built up’ and that would be a very good starting point for the upturn that I anticipate will be happening later in the year.” – Dr. Yun “Positive attitude brings positive action.” – Dr. Yun https://www.TheBrianBuffiniShow.com http://www.brianbuffini.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brian_buffini Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brianbuffini Twitter: https://twitter.com/brianbuffini Theme Music: “The Cliffs of Moher” by Brogue Wave Hosted on Acast.

And that's because the US didn't have the inventory.” – David Stevens “I think both listing and purchase buyers are going to see some sort of immediate response because pent-up demand is occurring, and the only overlay that will cause resistance there will be the unemployment factor.” – David Stevens “The bottom line is, all economics is supply and demand. And we still have a limited supply and high demand.” – Brian Buffini “Homeownership is a wealth creator for this country and for Americans.” – David Stevens “Worry the most when things are best.” – David Stevens “I'm just looking at what economists are giving me.

We’re representing everyone’s interest. This is REALTOR members, property owners, consumers, the industry and the business as a whole.” – Shannon McGahn “It’s our intention to continue working with lawmakers to ensure that, as we get out of the crisis and into recovery, that we can see that real estate plays a big picture there.” – Shannon McGahn “I must say that I have had great responsiveness from all of our contacts on the Hill.

Lewis “The Great Divorce,” by C.S. Lewis Wilbur Smith, author INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE: “While it is unprecedented that we've never shut down the world because of a global pandemic ever, what isn't unprecedented is the fact that humans have gone through crises and overcome them.” – Shawn Achor “What we have great precedent for is that humans overcome challenges and crises in the exact same way. Eventually, the turning point comes when people are able to raise their levels of optimism, social connection, refine the meaning that they have within their work, and be able to restart that forward progress.” – Shawn Achor “People think happiness is connected to whimsy. This is a toughness. This is a determination. This is a resolve. It's a spirit. It's mind and heart.” – Brian Buffini “I think people are going to become more grateful because convenience has been taken out of our life.” – Brian Buffini “People are either going to get bitter or better at this time.” – Brian Buffini “The mindset shift I'm hoping people make is not ‘How do I get out of this crisis myself? How do I hunker down? How do I solve this?’ But rather, ‘How do I create an interconnected pursuit of happiness and success within my life?’” – Shawn Achor “The geometry of the challenges in your life are constantly in flux, based upon whether or not you think you're alone, or with other people overcoming a challenge.” – Shawn Achor “I want to move away from a self-help approach to happiness.” – Shawn Achor “The greatest predictors of our long-term levels of happiness right now are other people.” – Shawn Achor “When somebody's going through a challenge, optimism doesn't shield them from it. But optimism and social connection cause them to become more adaptive to get out of that quicker.” – Shawn Achor “The crisis actually gives us something meaningful to bond around.” – Shawn Achor “People have these seeds of untapped potential that they oftentimes don't even know that they could cause to flourish, or they don't have the time for.” – Shawn Achor “If the height of your potential is predicted by the people around you, we need to find some way of lifting them up right now.” – Shawn Achor “There's ways to find growth in the midst of a challenge.” – Shawn Achor “Sometimes you have to get away from what you have that's comfortable to go after what's great.” – Brian Buffini https://www.TheBrianBuffiniShow.com http://www.brianbuffini.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brian_buffini Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brianbuffini Twitter: https://twitter.com/brianbuffini Theme Music: “The Cliffs of Moher” by Brogue Wave Hosted on Acast.

And there'll be good opportunity to do so.” – Vince Malta “Many markets in the United States are still doing a lot of buying and selling of homes right now.” – Vince Malta “One thing I find with Realtors is they're so resilient.

And I think that Realtors will be able to express that value proposition so greatly as they're guiding people through this post Covid-19.” – Vince Malta “You’ve got to take the ‘self’ out of being self-employed, I think it's important to connect as a community, connect with fellow agents, connect with your broker. – Brian Buffini “Some blessings always come out of these trials.” – Brian Buffini “Realtors aren't going anywhere.
