Whether you're already a homeowner or looking to become one, the recent headlines about home prices may leave you with more questions than answers.
First, news stories are talking about home prices falling, raising concerns about a repeat of what happened to prices in the crash in 2008. Based on those headlines, one of the questions on many minds is: how much will home prices decline? But you may need to realize that expert forecasters aren't calling for a free price fall.

“While mortgage market activity has significantly shrunk over the last year, inflationary pressures are easing and should lead to lower mortgage rates in 2023.” That’s potentially great news if you’re a buyer aiming to jump back into
It doesn’t matter if you’re someone who closely follows the economy or not; chances are you’ve heard whispers of an upcoming recession. A broad range of factors determines economic conditions, so rather than explaining them each in-depth, let’s lean on the experts and what history tells us to see what could lie ahead. As Greg McBride, Chief Financial Analyst at Bankrate, says:

As talk about a potential recession grows, you may wonder what a recession could mean for the housing market. Here’s a look at the historical data to show what happened in real estate during previous recessions to help prove why you shouldn’t be afraid of what a recession could mean
If you’re thinking about buying or selling a home soon, you probably want to know what you can expect from the housing market this year. In 2022, the market underwent a significant shift as economic uncertainty, and higher mortgage rates reduced buyer demand, slowed the pace of home sales, and moderated home prices. But what about 2023?
An article from Housing Wire offers this perspective: Sub-three percent mortgage rates, fast-paced bidding wars, and record-low inventory characterized the red-hot housing market of the past 2 ½ years. But more recently, market conditions have done an about-face. So now is the opportunity for everyone to become re-educated about what a ‘typical’ housing market resembles.
