Is The Housing Market Going To Crash? What The experts Are Saying. | |
Key takeaways
- Despite today's high mortgage rates, home prices continue to rise due to a lack of housing supply.
- Economists predict that any market correction will be modest and not on the scale of the Great Recession.
- Experts do not expect a housing market crash, due to low inventory, strict lending standards and other factors.

Much to the chagrin of would-be homebuyers, property prices just keep rising. It seems nothing — not even some of the highest mortgage rates of the past two decades — can stop the continued climb of home prices.
Prices increased once again in February, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), which reports that median existing-home prices were up 5.7 percent over last year — the eighth month in a row of year-over-year jumps. In another reflection of ongoing increases, the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller home price index for January was up 6 percent from a year earlier.
