In a new post by HousingWire.com, they note:

“Despite open houses pausing over the spread of COVID-19, a new survey from the National Association of Realtors said that 65% of people who attended an open house within the last year would do so now without hesitation, while another 15% said they would feel comfortable resuming this activity if there was an approved COVID-19 vaccine and/or proven medical protocol to mitigate and remedy the effects of the virus.

“The real estate industry – and our country – has endured some very challenging times for several months, but we’re seeing signs of progress and we are earnestly hoping the worst is behind us,” said NAR President Vince Malta.

Buyer and seller confidence in their agent has also increased. According to NAR’s survey, buyers and sellers are depending more on their agents than ever before. Technology is also very important and will continue to be a large part of buying and selling a home.
