real estate downturn

Housing market decline

A real estate downturn is a period when property values decline, sales slow, and the housing market weakens.

Downturns may last months or years and often follow periods of rapid price growth or coincide with broader economic recessions: Many homeowners found themselves underwater during the real estate downturn.

The opposite is a boom or bull market.
