If you’re trying to sell, it’s natural to have economic concerns, but it’s important to keep them in perspective. The housing market is likely still rebounding from the effects of COVID-19, and this rebound is occurring in several ways.
We are emerging from the impact of foreclosure moratoriums that were in place during the pandemic. Now, we find ourselves in an environment where most homebuyers need to be more financially well-off to qualify for a mortgage.
Even if foreclosure activity rises slowly in the coming years, there is still significant headroom before the situation becomes problematic. “We’re still below 2019 [foreclosure] levels, which were healthy,” says Blomquist. “So while foreclosures are rising, I see it as returning to balance, not entering another crisis.”
