While much of the news has been about the effect on various markets, let\u2019s also acknowledge the true impact it continues to have on lives and families around the world.<\/p>\n<p>With all this uncertainty, how do you make powerful and confident decisions in regard to your real estate plans?<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<em><a title=\"National Association of Realtors\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/news\/trends\/how-falling-stock-market-and-coronavirus-fears-could-affect-housing-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Association of Realtors<\/a><\/em>\u00a0(NAR) anticipates:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cAt the very least, the coronavirus could cause some people to put home sales on hold.\u201d<\/em><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While this is an understandable approach, it is important to balance that with how it may end up costing you in the long run. If you\u2019re considering buying or selling a home, it is key to educate yourself so that you can take thoughtful and intentional next steps for your future.<\/p>\n<p>For example, when there\u2019s fear in the world, we see lower mortgage\u00a0<a title=\"interest rates\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mykcm.com\/2020\/02\/13\/popular-perspective-delivers-gift-to-u-s-housing-market\/\">interest rates<\/a>\u00a0as investors flee stocks for the safety of U.S. bonds.

And the policy change was consistent with recent declines for interest rates in the bond market. These declines should push mortgage interest rates closer to a low 3% average for the 30-year fixed rate mortgage.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is exactly what we\u2019re experiencing right now as mortgage interest rates hover at the lowest levels in the history of the housing market.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Bottom Line<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The full impact of the Coronavirus is still not yet known.
