“Four years on from the COVID pandemic, home prices around the country have staged a remarkable feat,” the spokesperson said.
“From fears of sharp falls through the COVID pandemic, to the expectation of steep declines when interest rates began to quickly climb, home prices have defied the expectations of many, surging 39.9% nationally.
