While following the regulations set forth by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">CDC<\/a> and all local guidelines, this year, agents quickly empowered buyers and sellers with virtual tours, 3D floor plans, high-quality photos, videos, online open houses, and more. For those who had homebuying and selling needs in 2020, trusted advisors made it possible in many markets.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a graph showing some of the digital options buyers found most helpful in their searches this year, as noted by NAR in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/research-and-statistics\/research-reports\/highlights-from-the-profile-of-home-buyers-and-sellers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">2020 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers<\/a>:<a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/02171830\/20201203-MEM-Eng-1.jpg?ssl=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-43472\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/files.simplifyingthemarket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/02171830\/20201203-MEM-Eng-1.jpg?resize=650%2C488&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A New Way to Shop for Homes in a Virtual World | Simplifying The Market\" width=\"650\" height=\"488\" \/><\/a>The report also mentions that buyers this year generally searched for eight weeks.
