Research Highlights New Way To Predict Home Price Recovery: Job Resilience

Unison, a home co-investing company, has published new research that highlights a different way to predict the economic impact and the long-term effect COVID-19 will have on home prices across the U.S.: how resilient is the city’s job market?

The company predicts cities with high concentrations of jobs that were not only able to maintain productivity during the pandemic but also adapted to the market environment will experience a faster recovery in housing prices. On the contrary, cities whose economies depend heavily on retail, manufacturing and hospitality, aka vulnerable sectors, will experience slower recovery rates.
