Industry experts say housing is in a recession. But this is very different from 2008.

After two frenzied years, home buying is cooling off as mortgage rates rise. Some experts in the field are calling it a “housing recession.”While... The housing market isn’t crashing, but it’s definitely feeling the burn.

“The typical U.S. home value fell by $366 in July, and is now $357,170, as measured by the Zillow Home Value Index.” At this point, sellers are finding themselves with fewer offers, and are having to offer more concessions themselves to entice buyers. The dip in July is a “badly needed rebalancing that gives home buyers more options, more time to shop and more negotiating power,” Skylar Olsen, chief economist at Zillow Z , said in a statement.

“‘Our prices have come off of their irrational highs of the last 18 months. It’s kind of a rebalancing.’”
