What started off as a bright year for the housing market and the economy was soon derailed by a global pandemic and severe economic recession. As detailed by my colleague,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/research\/about\/team\/george-ratiu\/\">George Ratiu<\/a>, the economic rebound has been sharp, but is by no means complete and created distinct winners and losers among sectors in the economy. Read more detailed thoughts on the overall economic context and outlook,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/research\/2021-economy-overview-and-forecast\/\">here<\/a>. One of the big winners has been the housing market, which saw home sales and prices hit decade-plus highs following decade lows in the span of just a few months. We expect housing\u2019s winning streak to continue in 2021 as seasonal trends normalize and some of the frenzied momentum fades thanks to fresh affordability challenges. Below you\u2019ll find our forecast and housing market predictions on key trends that will shape the year ahead.
