My wife and I started building a new house late last year. When covid hit early this year, I really worried about how the sale of our then-current home would go. Luckily, the local real estate market stayed strong. We sold the house about 30 days before we moved into the new place in July-- above asking price! It felt like a miracle. It felt like the last parts of the new house took forever. Appliances, lights, etc. took a long time to arrive. Window blinds took several months. (All this affected by covid, we are told.) I feel bad for people who have houses under construction now. I'm told the wait for materials is much worse (!)
