Depends on the price of such house. I am sure that there are a lot of homes in The Villages where someone has died. A good deal is still a good deal.

Like a speed bump.

Just saw infections disease expert on squawk box, this could be the new normal for the next 18months until we get a vaccine. if this is the case, demand for TV houses will drop off a cliff and prices accordingly

Another aspect, this is a maximum density community, a lot of houses are right on top of each other (akin to Levittown, right after the war)--the transmission of the disease once its starts will be rampant--especially for those living in high rise senior housing

Hope I'm wrong it won't be pretty--real estate value should be your last worry

Interest rates will be low, a good time to buy. Some people made lots of money selling off from the stock market. Not much else to do so go find that dream home.

Let me suggest a different scenario. Building of new homes will slow slightly but will still be more significant than other communities. Prices will remain stable. With mortgage rates at historic lows, some will partially finance their purchases which isn't done much today. The market will rebound. It is currently where it was 3 years ago and if you don't have to liquidate, there are many opportunities out there. During the last recession, the sky did not fall in The Villages.

[QUOTE=N44125;1728530]What do you think? Will the Coronavirus have an adverse affect on the Real Estate market? Will sales go down? Will prices be depressed?

Just curious....what ever happens will be temporary.

This Iris located across the street from me in Lake Deaton was listed at around $564,000 a month ago to then drop a little several weeks ago. Now it's listed for $499,000. It's dropping into the good deal range??

You really don't buy a lot here you just reserve a space for potential build with in
1 year or it reverts back to the developer

No matter how low interest rates go you still need green backs to pay the mortgage. Many new or pending retires nest eggs have dropped by 30% or more .
No matter how fast this pandemic passes recovery will likely be slow

With a 15 year morgage around 2.75 percent why tap investments to pay for a house?
Even if you sold your house up north to migrate to FL, a morgage at these rates is worth considering. You can establish a nice emergency fund very quickly. Marketing people will be making buyers aware of this

“There’s never been a better time to buy”. Seems like some people on this forum are realtors. We are in a different paradigm, a pandemic that may come back after this summer. A vaccine is 18 months away What if TV becomes an epicenter of death, are people socially distancing here as trump says to
I hope Iam wrong, but housing prices could collapse here with our residents the majority of whom are virus deniers

Interest rates are going to be low for quite some time. Why would you run out now and buy a house Vs waiting to see what will happen to the market after this virus thing. House prices have not moved down or at least not drastically in the last month. There will certainly not be a demand for prices to rise in the near term future given the market loses and investors decreased ability to buy. Buying a house two months from now is almost guaranteed to be cheaper than today.

I believe that is called a crematorium.
