Same in Providence. We are house shopping right now and the market is very hot -- so hot that I'm considering stopping our search altogether on the theory that it might be better to wait and see what happens over the coming months.

I remember reading an article that said, while people who want to buy really want to buy, many of the sellers have gotten cold feet. When people imagined that the market would dry up and property values would go down because of the epidemic, they weren't thinking about the asymmetry.

I think this is right. It's called supply and demand. Both parts matter.
