A top real estate economist explains why a housing rebound is coming as rising sales and lack of supply look poised to lift home prices

• Nadia Evangelou, senior economist for the National Association of Realtors, sees a rebound coming. 
• Easing inflation will bring mortgage rates down, and tight supplies will send prices higher. 
• In her view, the US will avoid both the recession and housing crash that others have forecasted. 

While some experts have warned of an impending US housing crash, Nadia Evangelou, senior economist and director of research at the National Association of Realtors, anticipates the opposite.

Home prices and sales will dip this year, but she anticipates a rebound in 2024 with sales rising and limited supplies sparking price gains.
