History Proves Recession Doesn’t Equal a Housing Crisis [INFOGRAPHIC]

Understand why an economic slowdown doesn't necessarily lead to a housing crisis. Key insights and historical data to ease your concerns.

Cheryl Bower | June 2, 2022

It’s important to understand history proves an economic slowdown does not equal a housing crisis.
In 4 of the last 6 recessions, home prices actually appreciated. Home prices only fell twice – minimally in the early 90s and then by nearly 20% during the housing crash in 2008.
If you have questions, let’s connect to discuss why today’s housing market is nothing like 2008.
