In analyzing previous sales cycles and real estate sales history, there is one wild card yet to be played and this could potentially shift the housing market into hyperdrive later this year.
This wildcard is a potential rebound of international buyers and immigration, which were credited for sparking high home sales in the mid-1980s and again in 2016-2018.
