Think We’re Headed for Another Crash? Look Closer.

This Is Not 2008. Let’s Stop Pretending It Is.
Yes, foreclosure filings have gone up slightly, but context matters. When you zoom out and look at the full picture, we’re nowhere near the crisis levels of the housing crash.
Just look at the data:
Q1 2025 foreclosure activity is still well below historic norms, and miles below the spikes we saw between 2007 and 2012.
Back then, hundreds of thousands of homeowners were underwater. Today, homeowners have record-high equity, stronger lending standards, and far more options.
The chart says it best:
What we’re seeing now is normal market movement, not a repeat of the meltdown.
This is the kind of insight clients need to hear. Cut through the noise, show them the data, and help them move forward with clarity.
