Episode 161: Is the Housing Market Actually in Trouble? The Metrics That Really Matter
Send us a text
Are rising foreclosure and bankruptcy headlines signaling a housing crash?
In this episode of the Loans Elevated Podcast, we break down the actual data — not the fear-based headlines — to reveal what’s really happening in the housing market across Utah and nationwide.
We cover:
• How today’s delinquencies compare to pre-COVID normals
• Why foreclosure inventory is FAR below historical averages
• The real story behind rising bankruptcy filings
• How negative equity remains near historic lows (2% vs. 26% in 2009)
• Why vacancy rates matter — and what they tell us today
• The unemployment “trigger point” that could shift the market
• What would actually need to happen for a housing collapse
Spoiler: Many of the metrics would need to double or triple before we hit legitimate red-flag territory.
We also discuss:
• Why consumer debt — not mortgage debt — is straining households
• How homeowners can use equity strategically during uncertain times
• Why liquidity and planning matter more than ever
• The danger of making decisions from headlines instead of data
If you’re a homeowner, buyer, investor, or real estate professional, this is your deep dive into the truth behind today’s housing market.
