Have We Entered A Housing Recession

A: An economic recession is generally defined as two consecutive quarters of declines in Gross Domestic Product (GDP). A housing recession occurs when home sales decline for six straight months. Housing sales activity has in fact declined for six consecutive months, so yes we are currently in a housing recession. Nevertheless, homes continue to sell because there are still more buyers than there are sellers in most local real estate markets. Thanks for your question, Charles.
