We are at the point of the economic cycle where I really just get two questions: Are we going into recession and are home prices about to fall? I am going to do my best to try to make sense of what is happening with the housing market right now, since the years 2020-2024 have been a talking point of mine for years and my biggest concern since the fall of 2020 has been prices overheating — not having a deflationary collapse.
For over a decade, a lot of people didn’t believe in housing inflation but in the deflationary housing story, which hasn’t ended well for them since 2012. Talking about this from a historical standpoint will help us understand better what is happening today.
The person who wrote this could never have predicted what the pandemic did the housing market. I lost face in the first couple of paragraphs in his ability to predict ridiculous.
