The housing indicators for March 2020 have been impacted by the Coronavirus pandemic that materialized in the second half of March, which has significantly reduced real estate business practices across our entire region. Naturally, a crisis of this magnitude would have a downward impact on the number of new listings and monthly sales activity.
