Virtual home tours have become one of the most popular real estate tools this year thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, and they won't be going away any time soon. Virtual tours are a convenient way to check-out these North Canton homes for sale from your couch, but they're not without their limitations.

Is Now a Good Time to Buy or Sell Real Estate?

Traditionally, spring is one of the busiest times of the year for real estate. However, the coronavirus outbreak—and subsequent stay-at-home orders—led many buyers and sellers to put their moving plans on hold. In April, new listings fell nearly 45%, and sales volume fell 15% compared to last year.¹
