When Is the Housing Market Going to Crash?

Short answer: There is no reliable indicator that the housing market is going to crash anytime soon — especially not in the Philadelphia suburbs.

A crash requires:
• Excess inventory
• High foreclosures
• Falling demand
• Poor lending standards

None of these are happening.

In Chester County communities like Exton, Malvern, and Downingtown, inventory is still historically low. Families continue moving into the area because of strong schools, job opportunities, and safe neighborhoods, keeping buyer demand elevated.
