- There are six census metropolitan areas (CMAs) with positive short- and long-term expectations, the same number as last month.
- The emerging COVID-19 virus pandemic could threaten positive expectations in the short term. More people are likely to delay buying as they self-isolate, and are faced with lower investment returns that could be used for down payments.
- Some of this downward risk, however, will be mitigated by lower interest rates.
