The first half of 2020 is a tale of two economies: the pre-pandemic economy and the economy of the pandemic’s first three months in the U.S. The unprecedented nature of this crisis will undoubtedly impact the housing market, but to what extent is still being played out. In this episode, Corey interviews co-host Steve Guggenmos, and Sara Hoffmann – director in the Multifamily Research & Modeling team and lead author of Freddie Mac’s 2020 Multifamily Midyear Outlook. Together, they take a closer look at market trends, changing volumes and rental demand, and the forecast for the multifamily originations market.
