Keep in mind that the most recent one 2008 was different has been a housing and mortgage crisis, we have the polar opposite situation with supply and demand now.

This time housing crisis will be based on not having incomes to pay for mortgage.

The Financial Crisis of 2008 was at first supposed to be a problem only with the subprime market (so said the chair of the Federal Reserve), yet it got out of control and did a lot of damage to people's lives.There are also good surprises.
