Luxury sales have increase immensely in the past few weeks. Why? It is a well-known fact that affluent people spend their money on traveling and dinning, and as a result of Covid, this is not the case; instead, many are looking to purchase a second home.  Additionally, many are fleeing urban areas such as the Bay Area to find new residence in smaller, more comfortable areas like Reno.  The criteria they are looking for are amenities: Pools, tennis courts, home offices, outdoor space and larger square footage in their homes. With low interest rates, this is all extremely attractive, however low inventory has caused the market to explode. Foreign investment in the USA is increasing as well, with China being the number one foreign investor, followed by, Canada, Mexico, India and Columbia. 74 billion dollars was spent from March 2019 to March 2020 on foreign real estate purchases.  An interesting fact is that RV sales have increased as well, with a 91% increase since the shutdown.
