Is the Housing Market About to Crash? What the Data (Actually) Shows

BiggerPockets Real Estate examines the fear of an imminent housing crash, contrasting alarming headlines with actual data. The hosts walk through six key indicators they say would have predicted the 2008 crisis and analyze whether the 2026 market shows the same danger. They describe the current environment as a 'Great Stall' — a stuck market that could either be the calm before a storm or a lull that will eventually resolve without a meltdown. The episode explains the math behind a housing crash and identifies a single 'canary in the coal mine' metric investors should monitor.
