[quote=CA renter]Though it’s counter-intuitive, I think we’ll see housing weaken as the rest of the economy improves. The housing market is being propped up **because the economy is weak.** Once the economy strengthens, it will become more and more difficult to justify spending so much money on artificially propping up the housing market (including the govt-backed mortgage market).

Cheap houses and plentiful jobs…now THAT would make for a healthy economy! ;)[/quote]

I like this theory, I think. I’m going to use it as if it were my own idea from now on 🙂
