Worried About a Housing Crash? 3 Stocks to Protect Your Real Estate Portfolio
This has been a wild year for our economy. Rapidly rising interest rates, sky-high inflation, and stock market volatility have investors on edge. Until recently, the real estate market has remained somewhat unaffected, growing sky high despite the uncertainty.
But now that inventory is rising, prices are cooling (albeit only slightly), and fewer transactions are taking place, it's understandable that investors are starting to worry about a potential housing crash.
No one can truly know if a crash is coming, but there are ways to prepare and hopefully protect your portfolio from a sudden or dramatic loss in real estate values. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) in particular can offer investors a hedge during a down real estate market with attractive dividends to boot.
