We get asked this question all the time and truthfully, it’s hard to be 100% accurate. The market can fluctuate randomly. In our professional opinion, we don’t think so! The demand for homes will be around for a while. The frenzy over homes that we’ve been seeing will probably even out but not crash.

Here are the top reasons we feel the housing market won’t crash:

✔️ Prime Rate Remains Steady
The Fed has already announced that the prime rate will remain close to 0% throughout 2022.

✔️ High Lumber Prices Keep Building Rates Low
It’s too expensive for builders to build like they were. This means less Inventory in the market. When there’s less inventory, but plenty of demand, it keeps pricing rising like they have been this year.

✔️ Demand is Still High
As long as the demand for housing is still high, the market won’t crash. It’s when the supply greatly exceeds the demand that prices start to fall and sometimes even plummet.

Wanna know how to pay off your mortgage early? Check this out…Rather than paying your mortgage once a month, switch to biweekly payments. Wait…What? In theory, you will be paying the same amount each month. However, there are 52 weeks in a year which would be 13 full-sized payments per year through biweekly payment, versus 12 payments per year with traditional monthly payments.

Example:

30-year $200,000 mortgage at 5% interest

Making biweekly payments saves you $34,328 in interest, decreases your number of overall mortgage payments which leads to paying your mortgage out in full almost five years earlier versus traditional monthly payments!
