According to Housing Wire, it has been recorded that the housing pricing pace has significantly risen last December 2020, wherein an increase of 12% occurred.

This increase is a new record high, as the last time this happened was in 2006. In total, the overall increased amount in the said pacing is 27.8%, resulting in some real estate market experts being worried about the status of the market as a whole. 

Do take note that December 2020 has put out an impressive housing rate during that time - a rate of 1,338,000. The said rate is a significant increase from the previous month of November, which only tallied up to a rate of 1,195,000.

Even though that rate total is still a high number rate, it is dwarfed by the following month's rate instead.

Similarly, a number of 1.338 million real estate housing properties were started alone in 2020, which is according to many, is a 7% increase from 2019's numbers. 

Even though there is a notable increase in price rates of the real estate housing market, many experts and individuals still believe that both the demand and construction for new housing properties will still significantly increase in this year of 2021.

One type of housing construction, the single-family housing construction, is expected to increase by 9% this 2021, which is a good sign for the overall market.

There is an increase in the prices of many construction materials needed for a home to be built.

That is negatively affecting the confidence of many builders around the country. However, many are still optimistic enough that their building mindset during this year won't waiver a lot.

Those Mentioned Good Things Happening Are Telltale Signs That the Housing Market Is Positively Rising Back up Again

According to The Edge Markets, those continuous trends that many are experiencing right now in the real estate housing market sector are signs that the overall housing market will recover greatly.

Aside from those rising positive trends, they have stated that the help from the Federal Reserve's monetary policy has hugely helped many homeowners and home construction projects around the country, even if there is an ongoing pandemic.

They consider that the housing market as a whole is a bright spot for a weakened economy due to the current global pandemic.

They are expecting that many lending companies will continue to help many in the construction sector, especially when it comes to the single-family housing sector.

Strangely enough, even though there is a global pandemic that weakens many economic sectors, it had a positive effect instead in the housing sector instead.

That positive effect is due to many families having a higher demand for more spacious homes, wherein they can both work and learn inside their homes.
