Navigating Uncertainty: Real Estate at a Crossroads
Never has the real estate landscape been so contradictory – simultaneously showing signs of strength and vulnerability. Are we facing a boom, a bubble, or an impending bust?
Properties on the Potomac’s Krasi Henkel has accurately predicted the last three real estate cycles from downturns to upswings. Her proven foresight is more valuable than ever in today’s complex market.
While technology floods us with information at unprecedented speeds, we mustn’t forget the human element of real estate – these are decisions about your most significant asset and potentially your largest liability.
Are We Heading for Another 2008?
The question on everyone’s mind: Are we reliving 2007, with 2026 poised to mirror the 2008 collapse? Perhaps – but today’s landscape features critical differences:
- Severe Housing Shortage: Virginia alone faces a deficit of 300,000-500,000 units
- Historic Low Affordability: Homeownership remains out of reach for many
- Improved Interest Rates: Creating new opportunities for strategic buyers
- Record-High Prices: Pushing market elasticity to its limits
- Building Market Pressure: Indicators point toward an inevitable correction

Make Decisions with Expertise, Not Algorithms
Should you buy now? Is it time to sell? These questions demand more than automated valuation models and trending hashtags.
