2020 was not a year that I would want to experience again and I find myself quite torn writing this post.
While the intent is to celebrate what ended up being my most successful year in real estate to date, I cannot feel good about celebrating my success without acknowledging the pain and loss that so many of our friends, neighbors, and loved ones have experienced and continue to experience. I had big plans for 2020 and it started out strong with a number of upcoming listings in the pipeline and quite a few engaged buyer clients. My last in-person settlement before the shutdown was on Friday, March 13th, 2020. This was also the last day of school for students in Pennsylvania, including our two girls. Real estate could not take place in-person for quite some time and there was a lot of uncertainty for me at first. I was lucky to have had a few things in motion to keep me "busy" from home. Our family is fortunate that my wife is employed as an essential worker, even though this could have been a double-edged sword since she works in a busy Philadelphia ER.
We were fortunate in the end…no one in our immediate family got sick. Real estate, as an industry, did well in 2020 and remained oddly untouched by the recession that is still creating so much difficulty for so many. I consider myself lucky to have been able to close 18 deals and help many of my clients with their real estate needs in 2020. I am also saddened for the clients who I couldn’t help as many of them were forced to pull back from their home searches, not by choice, but because of the pandemic.
My year would have been very different without the opportunities that my clients entrusted to me; their success is my success. I'm looking forward to a better 2021 for everyone.

Home Prices: What Happened in 2020? What Will Happen This Year?
The real estate market was on fire during the second half of 2020. Buyer demand was way up, and the supply of homes available for sale hit record lows. The price of anything is determined by the supply and demand ratio, so home prices skyrocketed last year. Dr. Lynn Fisher, Deputy Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Division of Research and Statistics, explains:
“House prices nationwide recorded the largest annual and quarterly increase in the history of the FHFA Home Price Index. Low mortgage rates, pent up demand from homebuyers, and...

As a homeowner, your monthly mortgage payment is a form of forced savings known as equity. Like with any type of savings, equity should be handled with caution, but it can be a great asset, like when you want to apply it toward a down payment when you move.
