Did you ever think you’d be trying to buy a house during a worldwide pandemic? As crazy as it seems, real estate transactions have barely slowed over the last 12 months. You’re not the only one who thinks it’s a great idea to buy a home right now. As spring approaches, military families are joining the masses to find their next hometown.
