Do You Think the Housing Market’s About To Crash? Read This First

Don’t let the talk scare you. Experts agree that a housing market crash is unlikely in 2025. As Business Insider reports:

“. . . economists who study housing market conditions generally do not expect a crash in 2025 or beyond unless the economic outlook changes.”

Instead, we’re heading into a housing market that’s healthier and more balanced, with slower price growth and more opportunity.

Let’s chat about what’s happening in our local market and how you can make the most of it.

Lately, it feels like a lot of people have been asking the same question: “Is the housing market about to crash?”

Do you think the housing market is about to crash? The experts (and the data) say otherwise.
Home prices are still rising at the national level, just not as fast as they were in recent years. And that’s not a sign of a crash. It’s a sign of more balance.
As more homes hit the market, buyers have more options, and that slows down how quickly prices rise. It’s not falling prices. It’s a healthier pace of home price growth.
How does knowing prices are still rising, but more slowly, affect the way you’re thinking about your next move?

Recession talk is heating up – but what does that mean for housing? Here’s what historical data tells us.
If a recession happens, many people assume home prices will crash like they did in 2008. But history tells a different story.
In 4 of the last 6 recessions, home prices actually went up. That means 2008 was the exception, not the rule.
During recessions, prices usually follow whatever path they’re already on. And, right now, prices are still rising nationally.
How does knowing home prices haven’t typically dropped in past recessions change the way you think about buying or selling?
