How the National Real-Estate News wants us to feel, What are your thoughts?

Many people still remember the sub-prime mortgage crisis of 2008 and are worried we are headed into a similar crash. The good news is that lenders learned a major lesson from that crash and have become much more stringent in their qualification criteria which has resulted in well-qualified buyers that are less likely to default on their loans. Also, according to Freddie Mac, there are currently 18% MORE people age 25-34 than there were in 2006. That is an increase of 6.6 million prospective first time homeowners!
So while some see what is happening in the market as a crash, I like to think of it as a major shift toward a more balanced housing market. It may be a bit of a bumpy road as we find that
happy medium, but at the end of the day, a market that is balanced between buyers and sellers is more beneficial for everyone involved.
