012 - 2020 was not 2008 all over again.
While there has been a lot of negative news last year, what actually happened in the housing market was not negative. Home prices appreciated, inventory dropped, and the equity that home owners have in their home increased significantly. This is in stark contrast to all the quick one-line zingers, memes, and incoherent comments that we often hear on social media that the sky was falling last year.
