Matt Smith is an American author who has gained attention for his book, I Am Applicant: One Family’s 7-Year Struggle to Renovate and Move into Their Home, which chronicles his family’s experiences with the USA housing crisis. In this blog, we will explore Matt Smith’s background, the housing crisis in the USA, and the story behind I Am Applicant.

Matt Smith grew up in the USA.

The USA housing crisis is a term used to describe the events that led to the 2008 financial crisis. The crisis was caused by a combination of factors, including the subprime mortgage market, the decline in housing prices, and the banking sector’s collapse. The housing crisis had a significant impact on the USA economy, causing widespread unemployment and foreclosure.

In his book, I Am Applicant, Matt Smith tells the story of his family’s seven-year struggle to renovate and move into their home. The book is a powerful and emotional account of the impact of the housing crisis on ordinary families in the USA. Smith’s story begins in 2008 when he and his wife decided to purchase a fixer-upper home in a neighborhood they loved.

At the time, the housing market was booming, and the Smiths were excited about the opportunity to renovate their dream home. However, as the housing crisis took hold, their dreams were shattered. The Smiths were unable to secure a mortgage, despite having good credit and a stable income. They were turned down by every bank they approached, and their dream of owning a home seemed to be slipping away.

The Smiths’ story is not unique, and many families across the USA were experiencing similar struggles. As the housing crisis deepened, millions of people lost their homes to foreclosure, and countless others were trapped in homes they could no longer afford. The crisis had a devastating impact on families, communities, and the wider economy.

In I Am Applicant, Matt Smith documents the emotional toll the housing crisis had on his family. He describes the stress, anxiety, and frustration they experienced as they battled with the banks and tried to secure a mortgage. Smith’s book is a powerful reminder of the human cost of the housing crisis and the importance of understanding its impact on ordinary families.
