ARE WE IN A RECESSION

Many ask the question are we in a recession? In my humble opinion we are in a housing market shortage solely because the Federal Government kept rate low for too long.  Two years to be exact. Of course it makes sense that homes are flying off the shelf sold at a rapid rate. Our nation has been in the (FOMO) Fear Of Missing Out mode and to add to the current market with spiking interest rates. The word recession has crawled all over the media, however the word inflation took it's place and feel the worst about where the housing market is headed. Recession does not mean a housing crisis will follow.

From my understanding recession is not a housing crisis and with economic slowdown truly does not necessarily mean homes will start losing value. Unfortunately food, oil, gas prices and services have been increasing and inflated at a rapid pace. Gasoline and oil has nearly doubled through this crises. On Wall Street the stock market has been eradicate and sliding with an unknown future.

Salary wages are not compatible with the current economical conditions. Gasoline prices are not letting up and home prices will still climb through 2022. It's important to understand history proves an economic slowdown does not equal a housing crisis.

Looking at it from a seller'd perspective there will be more competition when you put your home up for sale. Inflation is looking like it will drive up mortgage rates and homes continue to appreciate
