Today’s podcast goes over why home prices aren’t crashing. It’s not like demand is booming here; a look at today’s existing home sales data. Note that with each red line drawing, every time rate rose, demand fell, and each year still had total home price growth.
Remember, with supply and demand economics, you need to look at both. If 2022 had the most significant home sales crash ever recorded, what about the supply?
