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?

While we’re still below pre-pandemic inventory levels, the number of homes with a for-sale sign in the yard is going up by the day. And breathe a little sigh of relief, because they’re taking a few days longer to sell, too.
Not only does that give you more choices when you move, it means you have more time to make thoughtful decisions while you’re at it. And oh, by the way – there will be demand for your house when you move because buyers are heating up right now. Win. Win.
So, if you pressed pause on your search last year because you couldn’t find the right fit, this could be your moment to start looking again.
What will it take to reignite your home search? Let me know, and we’ll make it a priority.
