Talk about the economy is all over the news, and the odds of a recession are rising this year.

For a long time, the housing market was all sunshine for sellers. Homes were flying off the shelves, and buyers had to compete like crazy.

When it feels like the cost of just about everything is rising, it’s only natural to wonder what that means for the housing market.

If you’ve been scrolling through social media or watching the news, you might have seen some pretty scary headlines yourself.
