Will the Housing Market Crash in 2024?

Will the housing market crash in 2024? We address a common misconception: those anticipating a steep drop in home prices may find themselves disappointed. Fluctuations don't necessarily indicate a market crash, as defined by a rapid and significant drop in prices due to an oversupply of homes and a lack of buyers.

 

We also discuss Federal Reserve policies, their influence on interest rates, and the broader implications for the housing market, emphasizing the importance of understanding these dynamics for anyone involved in buying, selling, or refinancing a home.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• A reflection on the 2008 housing crisis
• A significant shift in the loan landscape with more robust, fully documented loans, and fewer foreclosures in 2023-2024
• Despite the high rates causing some potential buyers to pause their home searches, there is a pent-up demand waiting to re-enter the market 
• A potential decrease in interest rates by 2024, might be a surge in market activity
