Demand for second homes in the U.S. surged by 100% year-over-year in October 2020, according to a Redfin report. This continued trend marks the fourth consecutive month of triple-digit increases, compared to a 50% rise in primary home demand. Factors supporting this growth include record-low mortgage rates and a shift to remote work. However, this demand contrasts sharply with the financial struggles faced by many Americans due to the pandemic, highlighting a growing divide in the housing market.

Salt Lake City was the most competitive market at 75%, while Las Vegas recorded the least at 38.2%. Condos are seeing less competition, with only 41.4% of offers encountering bids.
