2022 Will Not Be a Repeat of 2008

To better understand the current real estate market, it helps to compare today to the most recent housing crisis: the 2008 recession. At that time, the market was in free fall due to a number of factors, including:

A lack of jobs and income
The over-valuation of homes
The subprime mortgage crisis
The burst of the housing bubble

Despite gloomy headlines, the real estate market is stronger than it was a decade ago and shows continued resiliency.

I’ll go first!

I built my house and thought I was pretty smart with some of the additional touches I added, however with my next home I want to add outlets at switch height, as well as some “in-wall” shelving. Go check my story to see what I’m talking about.
