Everyone is trying to predict what will happen in 2024 with real estate. On a recent podcast of <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/sean-terry-quitting-after-20-years\/id1386400008?i=1000626825492\">Real Estate Disruptors<\/a>, Sean Terry, founder of the real estate investing company Flip2Freedom, predicts that a black swan event could rock the housing market in the next six to eight months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a black swan event?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A black swan event is something that is unpredictable and rare. It comes from the notion that black swans are rare. According to Brittanica, the first reference to a black swan event came from Juvenal, a Roman poet who was born in the first century AD, when black thoughts weren\u2019t thought to exist. It wasn\u2019t until the 17<sup>th<\/sup> century that black swans were discovered in Australia. Juvenbal compared a woman with the worthy qualities of marriage to the \u201crare\u201d black swan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, black swan events are \u201cparadigm shifting.\u201d Although black swan events are considered unpredictable, they are often rationalized in hindsight. World War I, the September 11 attacks, and the dot-com bubble are often referred to as black swan events.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Could the market crash in 2024?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The 2008 financial crisis is also considered a black swan event, and some experts are comparing it to the current housing crisis. In 2008, banks foreclosed on thousands of houses, largely due to the subprime lending practices. There are concerns that the current impending recession, the high cost of homes and the cooling job market could combine to burst the bubble, so to speak.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<strong>How do you make housing affordable?<\/strong> If you have to raise interest rates,\u201d Terry said. \u201cThe prices have to come down. Something will crack, and I think\u2026we\u2019re gonna have a Black Swan event probably in the next six-eight months\u2026that\u2019s going to rock the markets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Search for <em>\u201cwill the housing market crash in 2024\u201d<\/em> and you\u2019ll get experts on both sides of the coin. The feds are trying to avoid a recession by raising interest rates to slow inflation. But there may be forces outside of their control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experts and laypersons alike are nervous for the future of the housing market &#8211; but what is a black swan event, and is it coming?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":337267,"featured_media":21074,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[2605,2604,2606,1234],"class_list":["post-21073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-big-data","tag-black-swan-event","tag-market-crash","tag-predictions","tag-real-estate-news"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/09\/MarketAnalysis.png","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/337267"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21073"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21073\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21078,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21073\/revisions\/21078"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
