Are you hearing all the talk about a recession and wondering what that would mean for the housing market? Here’s what the data tells us about every recession going back to the 1980s.
While everyone remembers 2008, what happened then wasn’t the norm. That was the only time there was a big drop in prices. It hasn’t happened since.
And mortgage rates? They usually come down – but don’t expect the return of 3%.
While the answer to the question of whether we’re headed toward a recession is uncertain, you don’t have to worry about what that would mean for housing.

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?”

04/16/2025

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?

So far, the average individual tax refund this year is $3,170. Of course, your number may be different.
But, if you’re getting a refund this year, you could use it to help with some of the upfront costs of buying a home, like your down payment or closing costs.
Because every dollar gets you one step closer to your goal – and your refund could give your homebuying savings an extra boost.
What would having your own home mean for you or your family this year?

No matter what you may be hearing or seeing online, the fact that new construction has ramped up lately isn’t cause for alarm. Here’s why.
Nationally, builders aren’t overbuilding – they're just catching up.
Coming out of the housing crash, builders pulled production way back, and that led to a long period of underbuilding. You can see that in this data.
So, even though we’re building more homes right now than we have in the last few years, there’s still a significant gap to make up after not building enough homes for over a decade.
But like anything else in housing, this varies by area. Some places will have more newly built homes, and others will have fewer.
