“Some sellers may be waiting until after the election results are certain before they list their homes,” said Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather. “But homebuyers are still rushing into the market to take advantage of record-low mortgage rates. Mortgage rates could fall even further this month if the election outcome remains uncertain. Lower mortgage rates could push even more buyers to purchase a home in the remaining months of 2020.”
