Know Why Tech Hubs in the S.F. Bay Area / Silicon Valley Have Edge in the Housing Recovery

Tech Hubs, such as #SanJose, #Sunnyvale, #santaclaracounty may have the edge in the housing recovery. “New supply” and “pace of sales” remained below during COVID19/SIP January, but in the West Coast, by June 21, it surpasses and continues to lead the recovery with the overall index now visibly above the pre-COVID benchmark.

What’s Driving Our Recovery?

1) Weather 2) COVID-19 containment 3) Economic resilience are three key factors driving regional differences in the housing recovery.

Realtor’s previous study about the spread of COVID-19 is closely linked to the housing slowdown, with markets with higher cases per capita more likely to see a bigger impact on supply and the pace of sales. It found that the speed and sustainability of the reopening, and each market’s ability to contain COVID-19, are dictating the speed of recovery across the regions.

Resilient economies may have an edge in the housing recovery, and areas with strong job markets before COVID-19, especially those with thriving #tech sectors, are seeing buyers and sellers reconnect faster than the rest of the country.

Yep, “West Coast rocks!” says this proud NorCal gal! 🙂
