Foreclosures are rising, but that does not automatically mean the 2026 housing market is heading toward another crash.
The comparison behind the headline changes the entire story.
In this episode, Tim and Julie Harris explain why real estate agents should stop comparing today’s market to the abnormal COVID housing years. They break down the difference between market normalization and genuine crisis conditions, why homeowner equity matters, and where limited pre-foreclosure listing opportunities may exist.
They also explain how fear-based predictions affect buyer behavior, seller decisions, and agent productivity. An agent who expects the market to collapse may stop prospecting, delay skill development, and wait for conditions that never arrive.
What you’ll learn: You’ll learn how to evaluate foreclosure headlines, compare current conditions with 2019 and the 2008 crisis, identify potential pre-foreclosure opportunities, analyze your local MLS, and build the skills required to serve clients in any market.
Serious real estate agents do not build careers around perfect conditions. They learn how to generate listings, communicate with authority, negotiate effectively, and pivot as the market changes. This is exactly the kind of practical, career-focused training available through coaching and the Libertas group at eXp Realty.

Somewhere in your market this weekend, a neighbor at the coffee shop asked an agent, "So how's the market?" The agent said it's going to be real slow until rates improve, the conversation ended, and two weeks later that neighbor listed with somebody else.
Somewhere in your market this morning, an agent is still waiting for the crash. They're holding off on calling their sphere, holding off on the farm mailer, holding off on asking for the listing.
Nearly 14 million homes are about to change hands over the next ten years, and most of them are the family homes your buyers are dying to get.
