      Isnt a crash in the housing market a good thing for the average person?

      The crisis happened because everyone got credits to buy a house, even if they shouldnt, and banks made money by betting against them ever paying it back. This caused a huge bubble that had to burst.

      It was more a housing-credit crash than anything else.

      Sure, it’s bad for people wanting to sell their house to make profits, but it’s good for people that want to buy a house.

        Only if there’s laws in place to keep the ultra rich from buying up multiple properties, otherwise it’s just an opportunity for people to keep hording homes to rent out.
