Over and over for the past several months now, experts and critics alike, repeatedly sit around to discuss and compare the figures we had a decade ago and how it lead to the infamous housing crisis. They gather amongst themselves to brainstorm about how our current numbers may lead to another housing crisis, but here's why we think otherwise.
There is a major difference between the two markets. Last decade, while demand was being artificially created by extremely loose lending standards, a tremendous amount of inventory was coming to the market to satisfy that demand.
Below is a graph of the inventory of homes available for sale leading up to the 2008 crash. 
A normal market should have approximately 6 months supply of housing inventory. As we can see, that number jumped to over 11 months supply leading up to the housing crisis. When questionable mortgage practices ceased, and demand dried up, there was a glut of inventory on the market which caused prices to drop as there was too much supply and not enough demand.
Today is radically different!
There are those who believe that low mortgage rates have created an artificial demand in the current market. They fear that if mortgage rates continue to rise, some of the current demand will dry up (which is a possibility).
However, if we look at supply again, we can see that the current supply of homes is well below the norm of 6 months. 
We will not have a glut of inventory like we did back in 2008 and home values won't come tumbling down. Instead, if demand weakens, we will return to a normal market (approximately a 6-month supply) with historic levels of appreciation (3.6% annually).
