COMPARING 2020ARETO 2008 THEY DIFFERENT? COVID-19 has had a large effect on the economy – so much so that you might have heard talks of our country entering another recession. Due to the severity of the 2008 financial crisis and the ensuing recession, the term stirs up a lot of emotions for many, especially when it comes to the real estate market. Annual Home Price Appreciation

Inventory and Appreciation

12.5%

In the years leading up to the housing market crash, home price appreciation (the increase in value of houses) was out of control. Homes simply became too expensive for buyers to afford, which became a contributing factor to the crash. The price of homes is still high today, but it’s risen at a more stable level. Inventory is at a low in most markets, causing a surge in demand.

Prior to the housing crisis, many homeowners were using cash-out refinances to supplement their cash flow, meaning they were tapping into their home’s equity as soon as it built up enough rather than letting it grow and build their overall wealth. This put many homeowners in a negative equity position when the housing bubble burst; they owed more on their home than it was actually worth.
