A housing market crash akin to the events of 2008 is not expected in 2023. While affordability is low and mortgage rates are high, supply remains very tight, which should keep the market moving, avoiding a major correction.

Predictions for the 2024 real estate market
Despite anticipation for a more stable housing market, affordability remains a concern. Mortgage rates—while possibly cooling off—are also projected to stay elevated in 2024, which could be challenging for some Americans, especially first-time homebuyers.
Will the interest rates go down in 2024?
Market participants generally agree with the Fed: Currently there's a 97% chance the federal funds rate will be lower at the end of 2024 than it is today, per the CME FedWatch tool, with traders putting a roughly 40% chance that the Fed will keep its rate in a range above 4.75%.
Will 2023 or 2024 be a good time to buy a house?
Zillow has a similar forecast, as it expects home values to rise by 6.5% from July 2023 through July 2024, despite “despite persistent affordability challenges.” Likewise, Freddie Mac is forecasting prices rising by 0.8% between August 2023 and August 2024, followed by another 0.9% gain in the following 12 months.
