With each passing day, the housing market crash becomes more and more obvious. Following a record-breaking 11 year rally that came to an end in the summer, the market is finally showing signs of complete collapse, but this data has not yet made it to the mainstream charts. Specifically, the commonly referenced case Shiller index only shows a downfall of 2.7%, and most other outlets report prices remaining relatively stable. This is causing many to become rather blind to what is happening on the ground right now, ignoring strong evidence pointing to a serious downfall. A downfall that stems from the investment side of this market sector with stats so bad many experts are predicting that this next crash will be worse than 2008. To understand this surprise real estate crash which is catching everyone off guard we first need to take a step back and understand some history that explains the underreported relationship between real estate investing and home prices.
