Like it or not, recession talk is heating up again. Your friends are seeing the headlines. Your neighbors are talking about it. And in real estate, that kind of noise can create fear and hesitation fast.
Here is what I want you to know. When most people hear the word recession, they immediately think of a housing crash. That is because 2008 is still a fresh wound for a lot of people. They remember the foreclosures. The short sales. The families forced to walk away from their homes. It left a mark.
But the truth is, in four of the last six recessions, home prices actually went up. Only twice did prices drop. And outside of 2008, those drops were pretty mild. The last big crash was the exception, not the norm.
Right now, people are wondering if this is history repeating itself. I study this market every day so you do not have to. I am not here to guess where the economy is going. I am here to give you real insight so you can make the best decisions for you and your family.
And whether your friends ask you or not, the question is already on their minds. That is why sharing the truth and starting the conversation matters so much right now.
