It will depend on the specific area. It might not be the same areas declining as the 2008-2012 financial crisis. I'd actually bet that it won't be the same areas.

Which markets are these?

Real estate prices in large metropolitan areas that have a housing crunch very, very rarely decline, and only temporarily if they do.

I've lived in many countries, and it's the same in all of them.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluding themselves.



This. You need to define the market.

I have been looking for some single family investments. In the market I have been looking in, inventory has doubled in the past 7 months and prices are declining. Another market 100 miles away, a major metropolitan area, is rock solid (in fact prices continue to rise).

No. The prices that have come down, had no business being so high in first place.

Declines from 10 years ago on $11M apartments do not count. Also NYC prices are flat from 7 years ago, not bubble related. If anything it’s bc so few can afford it.

No. We have a supply issue that will persist.
