It’s the middle of Spring, traditionally the busiest time in the *housing market.* But *this year…things have changed.* The market isn’t following regular patterns; some *new concerns* and opportunities are *emerging* and starting to approach the horizon.

*Are real estate investors prepared for what’s about to come?*

We’re back with this month’s *housing market update,* going over everything from *mortgage rates to foreclosures* and *housing crash risk,* how long *homes are sitting on the market,* and a *silver lining for investors* that most Americans are missing. But there are some concerns.

One all-important metric for real estate investors is changing, and *many rental property owners aren’t prepared* for it. This could lead to lower profits, reduced cash flow, and, for those already struggling to pay the mortgage, foreclosures. *Who’s in danger,* and which areas of the country are most at risk?

Plus, with *delinquency rates rising and foreclosures increasing,* are we at the tipping point of entering a dangerous housing market, or is this merely a return to normal, working its way through the system?
