Is our real estate market in a bubble that’s eventually going to burst just like it did a decade ago?
Fortunately, no. Instead of a bubble, imagine that our market is more like a mountain. Home values have been steadily increasing for a while now, but once they get to the top of the mountain, they’ll drop off a bit before rising again.
In my view, this is because buyers don’t get qualified for mortgage loans as easily anymore. In fact, one of the most challenging parts of buying a home is first getting qualified for a loan. Everything else about the home buying process is fun, but getting a loan isn’t easy. This means buyers who get approved for loans aren’t defaulting, foreclosing, or short-selling anymore.
Our market is a mountain, and that mountain is growing. Will prices eventually drop off in a few years? Yes—inventory will increase to the point where buyers will have more than enough homes to choose from and we’ll transition into more of a buyer’s market.
So if you’re thinking of buying real estate, don’t let the rumors of an impending crash hold you back. As I always say, it’s better to buy real estate and wait rather than wait to buy real estate.
