As a result of the pent-up demand across the country, the real estate industry has seen consistent growth in the years following the pandemic. Buyers are increasingly interested in purchasing larger homes. The real estate industry was able to register good growth thanks to the push from the government as well as the lowest-ever interest rates on housing. The growth story may, however, experience some bumps in the road in the days and weeks ahead due to the pervasive fear of a recession. Because of the rise in the cost of inputs, many construction companies have been forced to pass the increased costs on to their customers, which can be detrimental to the growth story.
