A Recession Doesn’t Mean a Housing Crisis

Infographic comparing home price and mortgage rate changes during six recessions since 1980.

 

Some Highlights

  • There’s a lot of talk about a recession lately and how the odds of one are rising. If you’re wondering what that means for the housing market, here’s what the data tells us.
  • While you may remember the price crash in 2008, that’s not the norm. Looking back all the way to 1980, home prices usually rise, and mortgage rates tend to fall.
  • If you have questions about buying or selling a home in today’s market, connect with a real estate agent.
