What Does Phase 2 Mean for Real Estate?

Spokane County open Phase 2, what does it mean for Real Estate? 

I’m sure we have all heard the news that Spokane has moved into phase 3 of reopening. We know that Restaurant’s, Salon’s and retail spaces are all allowed to reopen with restrictions but what does phase 2 mean for Real Estate? 

Much of the Real Estate restrictions will remain, which means at this point there are no Open Houses allowed and Realtors are only allowed to meet with clients in person when absolutely necessary and practicing social distancing. However, Phase 2 does allow us as Realtors to start bringing 2 people in the house at a time for a home showing. It might not seem like much but during phase 1 it was hard on couple’s having to go into a home one at a time while the other waited in their vehicle and while I understood the necessity I am so pleased that I can show 2 parties at a time who can discuss their likes and dislikes in real time, as we walk through the home. 

There is still an abundance of buyers in the Spokane market so despite some changes and obstacles, it is still a fantastic time to sell your home. If you have any questions about buying or selling a home in this market, please do not hesitate to contact me.
