COVID-19 Economics
“Nobody knows their local community better than real estate agents and I think even if you’re not a data-driven person and you don’t instantly know what composition of your local economy is made up of particular sectors, intuitively you know that … Look at your local market and think about who is getting hit the hardest right now.” ~ Meghan O’Brien
In this episode of How They Won, trainer and coach Robert Burns dives into a complicated conversation with Meghan O’Brien of RE/MAX Concepts about the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meghan is both an economist and a real estate professional. She’s a top-producing real estate salesperson in Des Moines, Iowa and a Professor of Economics with Des Moines Area Community College. During the conversation, Meghan and Bob discuss:
- the underlying economic factors that drive real estate, no matter the market;
- good sources of data to help you make your own decisions about COVID-19’s effect on your local real estate market;
- the data points that are perhaps given too much weight in the overall economic conversation; and
- what Meghan is doing differently in her business during the pandemic.
