We're talking about the Real Estate Market Crash, Apple Car implications, and Trump signing the new stimulus

With foreclosures, forbearances, rising prices, and low inventory, people are talking about the U.S. real estate market crash of 2021. We go into the data for the benefits and drawbacks for the United States and Miami real estate markets coming into 2021: talking about the components associated with what may occur in 2021 and our outlooks. We go into the positives of the real estate market with Redfin Data, from the surging demand, low-interest rates, list price to sale price, and real estate's underperformance compared to the stock market. We also go into the risks for the real estate market including forbearance and foreclosures, along with the affordability concerns for first-time homebuyers, plus the difficulty of the market maintaining these rise in prices. Consequently, we are bullish on real estate for 2021. If we're right about the bullish future of real estate in 2021, there will be other assets and markets that will follow the trend.
