(2,117 posts)I do not have any hard evidence, but we are selling 2 estates and interest in these estates is low,,, My feeling,,as I tell Mrs K, there is a panic to buy food and necessities right now.. estates and homes are way down the list, which will affect prices. Just what I am seeing day to day.

But who knows, people still working but stuck in apartments, might get cabin fever and need a bigger place.

(6,806 posts)Going in and out the patio door so WE ARE the only ones touching door handle. My wife has a stroke disability and so is fine staying in in the master bedroom suite most of the time anyway.
For my cabin fever there are near by parks and a nice trail along a nearby large creek. Or just getting the dog out in our nice complex that has a little lake to walk around too. Getting by the mailbox on foot. And our patio can give a nice brief respite too. There's always the possibility of a short drive to a couple urban state parks, or one of the US's largest county parks.
We already discussed that on some coming days with temps in the sixties we could go by a subshop and get carry out to one of the parks and a picnic table.
I think with time everyone can start coming up with simple plans and activities they can do more often.
