Home sales across the United States are picking up again despite the sudden loss of some 22 million jobs due to the coronavirus pandemic. How does that make sense? Record-low mortgage rates and a lack of homes for sale are two key reasons that help explain the dramatic rebound. However, those factors do not tell the whole story.
