 April Home Sale Statistics
Even as the  coronavirus pandemic  s pread across the country,  home prices  in March remained at record highs — but this situation could soon change.
Home values rose by 4.5 percent annually in March and 1.3 percent month-over-month — a huge spike from 4.1 percent and 0.6 percent in February.

We will begin to see the true impact from the numbers reflecting activity in April, which is when most shelter-in-place policies first started.
