There’s a lot of talk about “another housing crash” every time rates move or headlines get negative.
But the numbers tell a much different story.
At the peak of the 2008/2009 housing crisis, the U.S. averaged 9.3 foreclosures per 1,000 homes. Today, that number is approximately 0.3 per 1,000 homes.
The housing market today is fundamentally different:
✅ Stronger borrower qualifications
✅ More equity in homes
✅ Tighter lending standards
✅ Historically low foreclosure levels
No market is perfect, and real estate always moves in cycles, but today’s market is not built on the same foundation as 2008.
If you're waiting because you're concerned we're heading for another housing collapse, it may be worth taking a closer look at the facts before putting your goals on hold.
