Do Recessions Crash Home Value? | Value Series Pt. 3 | RE radar

Welcome to Episode 3 of the Understanding Home Value series—where we wrap things up with the biggest factor of all: external forces.

I’m Nathan Mathisen, and on this episode of RE radar, we’re diving into the myths and realities around recessions, interest rates, and what actually drives housing prices on a big-picture scale.

 

💥 Spoiler alert:

– Recessions don’t always mean a housing crash

– Rising interest rates don’t automatically push prices down

– And the economy? It’s more complicated than you think

Using real data and real trends, I’ll walk you through what shapes your home’s value beyond the property line—including:

📉 Economic conditions

📈 Supply and demand

🏙️ Regional employment shifts

👵👨‍🦱 Demographic changes

🚧 Infrastructure + climate risks

🏛️ Government policy

 

🎯 If you want a sharper understanding of why home values behave the way they do—even during chaos—this one’s for you.

✅ Catch up on Episodes 1 and 2 of the series if you missed them!

🗣 Drop your thoughts or questions in the comments—I’d love to hear what surprised you most.
