I'd expect a lot of this depends on where you are. Some places it won't matter a whole lot what happens with Covid/rates.

Friends in the DC region aren't worried as this has been an ongoing trend for quite a long time (they have enough equity that a dip won't matter much). Friends in Southern California would probably say the same thing. But in Phoenix, I already hear some questions as to whether this will come tumbling down in a year or two.

Myself, bought a place (not a city and not quite the 'burbs) last year and I'm still curious about my local market so I still constantly check the real estate sites/apps just to see how things are moving in my area. Would suspect I'm not alone in doing this.
