Housing Market Update: The Crash Bros are Wrong (Again!)
On The Market
Record Homeowner Equity Provides a Cushion
Dave details the $17 trillion in homeowner equity and tappable equity, explaining why it prevents forced sales.
We can definitively say it now: the buyer’s market is here.
The housing market is cooling down, but the deals are heating up as a “mild” correction slows down hot markets and gives buyers even more power in cold ones. With it comes buying opportunities—ones that real estate investors have been starved of over the past few years. You can negotiate for more, offer less, and lock in a lower mortgage rate than last year.
The question is: will this correction turn into a full-blown housing crash? Dave’s giving you his honest (and data-backed) opinion in this September 2025 housing market update!
Mortgage delinquencies are rising rapidly in one subset of the market, the crash-bro clickbaiters say it’s a sign of a coming housing apocalypse—are they finally right about something? One thing is certain: a few housing markets across the US are in danger of slipping into an even more oversupplied market. But, with new data showing that sellers are quitting and walking away, will this reverse the worrying trend?
Stick around, we’ve got your housing market update without the hype.
