The Market Isn’t Crashing—It’s Correcting. And That’s a Good Thing

Fear is loud—but facts are smarter.

You’ve probably seen the headlines: “Housing crash incoming!” or “Real estate about to collapse!” But here’s the thing…those headlines are designed to scare, not inform.

Let’s look at what’s really happening.

📊 70% of Americans Think a Crash Is Coming

A recent survey shows that the majority of Americans are bracing for a housing crash in 2025. But the actual numbers don’t back that up.

🏡 The Market Is Correcting—Not Collapsing

According to First American’s Chief Economist Mark Fleming, inventory is still too low to meet buyer demand. While it’s slowly increasing, we are nowhere near a housing surplus.

That’s why prices haven’t tanked—they’ve stabilized.

Most experts say we’ll continue to see modest appreciation, just without the chaos of 2020-2022.

💡 What This Means for You

Buyers – You’ve got more homes to choose from and more time to think before jumping in. You’re gaining leverage.

Sellers – Homes are still selling. But pricing and marketing matter more than ever.

Gone are the days of “just list it and watch the offers roll in.” Today’s market rewards strategy.

🔍 Headlines Are Loud. Strategy Is Smart.

If you’re relying on social media soundbites or fear-based headlines, you might miss a golden opportunity. The market isn’t crashing—it’s evolving.
