\n

It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re someone who closely follows the economy or not, chances are you\u2019ve heard whispers of an upcoming recession. Economic conditions are determined by a broad range of factors, so rather than explaining them each in depth, let\u2019s lean on the experts and what history tells us to see what could lie ahead. As Greg McBride, Chief Financial Analyst at <\/span>Bankrate<\/em>,\u00a0<\/span>says<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/header>\n

\n

\u201cTwo-in-three economists are forecasting a recession in 2023 . . .\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As talk about a potential recession grows, you may be wondering what a recession could mean for the housing market. Here\u2019s a look at the historical data to show what happened in real estate during previous recessions to help prove why you shouldn\u2019t be afraid of what a recession could mean for the\u00a0housing market\u00a0today.<\/p>\n

A Recession Doesn\u2019t Mean Falling Home Prices<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To show that home prices don\u2019t fall every time there\u2019s a\u00a0recession<\/a>, it helps to turn to\u00a0historical data<\/a>. As the graph below illustrates, looking at recessions going all the way back to 1980,\u00a0home prices\u00a0appreciated in four of the last six of them. So historically, when the economy slows down, it doesn\u2019t mean home values will always fall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Most people remember the\u00a0housing crisis\u00a0in 2008 (the larger of the two red bars in the graph above<\/em>) and think another recession would be a repeat of what happened to housing then. But today\u2019s housing market\u00a0isn\u2019t about to crash\u00a0because the fundamentals of the market are different than they were in 2008. According to\u00a0experts, home prices will vary by market and may go up or down depending on the local area. But the average of their\u00a02023 forecasts\u00a0shows prices will net neutral nationwide, not fall drastically like they did in 2008.<\/p>\n

A Recession Means Falling Mortgage Rates<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Research\u00a0also helps paint the picture of how a recession could impact the cost of financing a home. As the graph below shows, historically, each time the economy slowed down,\u00a0mortgage rates<\/a>\u00a0decreased.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

Fortune<\/em>\u00a0explains<\/a>\u00a0mortgage rates typically fall during an economic slowdown:<\/p>\n

\u201cOver the past five recessions, mortgage rates have fallen an average of 1.8 percentage points from the peak seen during the recession to the trough.\u00a0<\/strong>And in many cases, they continued to fall after the fact as it takes some time to turn things around even when the recession is technically over.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In\u00a02023, market experts say mortgage rates will likely stabilize below the peak we saw last year. That\u2019s because\u00a0mortgage rates\u00a0tend to respond to inflation. And early signs show inflation is starting to cool. If inflation continues to ease, rates may fall a bit more, but the days of 3% are likely behind us.<\/p>\n

The big takeaway is you don\u2019t need to fear the word recession when it comes to housing. In fact, experts say a recession would be mild and housing would play a key role in a quick economic rebound. As the 2022 CEO Outlook from KPMG,\u00a0says:<\/p>\n

\u201cGlobal CEOs see a \u2018mild and short\u2019 recession, yet optimistic about global economy over 3-year horizon . . .<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>More than 8 out of 10 anticipate a recession over the next 12 months, with\u00a0more than half expecting it to be mild and short<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bottom Line\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While history doesn\u2019t always repeat itself, we can learn from the past. According to historical data, in most recessions, home values have appreciated and mortgage rates have declined.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking about buying or selling a home this year, let\u2019s connect so you have expert advice on what\u2019s happening in the housing market and what that means for your homeownership goals.<\/p>\n
