When it comes to post-COVID America, many speculate that we can glean a lot from the months following 9/11 and the Great Recession: On one hand, we’ll all think differently about where we go and how we behave; on the other hand, the economic challenges will have changed our priorities.
The double-whammy of psychological and financial drivers alone could create a huge shift in trends and behaviors after restrictions are lifted – But the kicker is that this time, millions of us have been just sitting around, wearily dreaming of the day we could do [fill-in-the-blank]. We're ready!!!

Re-opening means opening the valve on pent-up supply and demand. |
We’ve been waiting. And waiting. And waiting. When we’re all finally able to do whatever it is we’ve been waiting for, there’s bound to be an avalanche of activity this summer: Adapted travel and tourism, modified weddings and memorials, re-hiring, and (of course) relocating to what’s next.

We all have a clearer picture of what we want home to be. |
In the last few weeks, I have had and heard dozens of different conversations: A flurry of San Franciscan homeowners are now eyeing Marin and the East Bay. Renters motivated by low mortgage rates and the number of new listings have started approaching lenders. Every flavor of “Aha! I know what I want my home to be!” has crystallized for scores of people, and they have been waiting for the time to take action. It looks like that time is imminent! The surge of activity that usually happens in the spring hasn’t been squashed, it has just been delayed. This summer could be the biggest ever as we all emerge from our small worlds, joyfully – but responsibly! – moving forward. (I cannot wait! 🤗) |
If you've been dreaming about what your home should be and it's not where you are, I'm here as a sounding board. Tell me all your thoughts, I'll tell you what I see. Stay strong, stay safe, stay positive! |
