Decreasing Home Prices and Sales
When home prices and values start falling, many consumers respond by cutting spending as their net worth falls — at least on paper. The cutting back can get more extreme if homeowners find themselves in negative equity — also known as being “underwater” on their mortgage — when they owe more on a home than what it’s worth.
And, per usual, less consumer spending can lead to a recession.
