Almost 2 in 3 fear recession is coming: Survey

A survey by Realtor.com in early 2025 found that 63.4 percent of prospective U.S. Homebuyers expect a recession within the next year.
This rising recession expectation follows increased recession chances after the Trump administration's tariffs and growing uncertainty around trade policies.
Despite concerns, 29.8 percent hoped a downturn could make homes more affordable, while more than half said their buying plans would not change.
Analysts estimate recession chances range from 35 to 60 percent, with J.P. Morgan noting tariff reductions could lower risks, while employment growth remains a key stabilizer.
Experts warn that a recession could weaken housing demand by raising unemployment and foreclosures, but lower mortgage rates might eventually ease affordability pressures.
