The Daily Money: Home sales in 2020 plunge in wake of coronavirus

ALL THE MONEY NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW

Monday, May 4

It's the start of a new week, Daily Money readers. Brett Molina here to deliver all your Money and Tech headlines for Monday.

This was supposed to be a robust home-buying season. Not anymore, thanks to the coronavirus. Experts at Zillow say home sales will likely plunge by 60%. However, home prices are only expected to dip a bit this year before inching back up throughout 2021.

Maybe working from home has its benefits. A survey found more than half of participants believe telecommuting due to coronavirus restrictions has had a positive effect on productivity. The main reasons cited by participants?

•	Time saved commuting
•	Fewer distractions from co-workers
•	Fewer meetings

Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo (pass the tequila, please). Even though we can't go out and celebrate, you can bring the party home. Taco Bell is offering an At Home Taco Bar to make tacos at home.
