"And my answer is, well, eventually, yes. Of course, there's going to be a housing market crash at some point in the future. I mean, it's bound to happen, but is it right around the corner? So, I just want to say this. This was a headline from 2010. The last housing market crash was driven by foreclosures, which I mean that was that was driven by bad banking practices. But essentially, it all boils down to supply and demand. So, when you have this many foreclosures happening and these homes end up being sold, they end up on the markets and it floods the market with supply. Right? In 2010 alone, there were just under 3 million foreclosures. And just for some context, in all of 2024, so all of last year, about 4 million homes were sold in the US. So imagine what 3 million distressed homes hitting the market is going to do to prices. So people don't realize how crazy high that number was for 2010. And I just want to say that's not a housing market. That that's basically like a liquidation events. And of course that plummeted home prices. And 2010, that was just one year. 2008, 2009, and 2011, they were bad in terms of foreclosures as well. And home prices didn't bottom until 2012. But based on everything that we just discussed, foreclosures today are still relatively low. And if there's no massive flood of homes hitting the market, then how are home prices supposed to crash? So, listen, I'm not saying that home prices can't correct, but I mean, a crash is a totally different thing. That's not what the data suggests is right around the corner."

Interpreted Prediction
A housing market crash is not right around the corner (i.e., not in the immediate future, likely not within the next year or two).
