dollar collapse and housing prices?

[Eugene]

Dollar can collapse in different ways. There’s no single answer to your question.

Weak dollar will mean higher prices on imported stuff, such as oil. There’s less income available for housing – prices go down. On the other hand, weak dollar stimulates exports and leads to higher wages and employment in export-oriented industries (you could say that a lot of high-tech in San Diego is export-oriented). Then there’s an issue of interest rates, which may go up or down, and an issue of wealth (where do high-end buyers keep their downpayment savings?)

And, like carlsbadworker says, there will be foreigners coming and bidding on houses. But that should only be a factor in oceanfront areas.

If the dollar weakens because the government starts printing money to stimulate the economy, that will increase wages of groups being stimulated.

I think that the short-term response would be down, long-term there are too many uncertanties.

For the purposes of buying something as intrinsic to a domestic market as a home, being in the local currency makes sense. Anyway, the dollar has been gaining ground against other currencies, and as other economies weaken there has been a flight to the dollar as a safe(r) bet. The main major threat to the dollar is Asian ownership of US debt, but that threat is more likely to come from geo-political strategic games, that will play out when resources become scarce. A similar thing happened during the Suez crisis, when the US threatened to pull the rug beneath the UK and France.

Here’s an article written by a guy that’s a currency pro. It’s logical and follows a strong historical pattern for accuracy. The US$ is very likely to remain strong for quite some time:

It appears PeterB and I agree on quite a few things. I am not sure if you are a trader or not but you certainly seem to have a good grasp on several things related to the markets.

My research on the dollar shows that it should move higher for several years. There is a 16 yr cycle low that was due earlier this year that hit right on schedule, and now we are moving up according to what should be happening. If this pattern holds true we should have an 8 yr run in the Dollar upward. I especially like this pattern because it is oppposite of what the majority of people think, hence likely to be valid. I also like what it forecasts for Gold, much lower prices. I shorted Gold last week in line with what I posted here that I was looking to sell the short term rally. I already took the money because it was so much so fast I could not help myself. There should be selling opportunities in Gold and Buys in the Dollar for quite some time.

What the world waits for will never happen, and I think this is true for both of these markets at this juncture. 8 years up seems like alot, but until this pattern which is working perfectly in it’s early stages falters, that is going to be my view. I am really hoping for some short term dollar weakness to get aggressively long.

I really have no idea about the economics of these views, economists are notoriously poor traders. However, if we are Japan from the 80’s ( where I think we are ) this would all make sense on an econmics level.

I did a comprehensive study of Gold and how it reacted historically to stock market declines in my newsletter many months ago, which conclusively shows no relationship either way between GOLD and stock market declines. It is not a safe haven, do not get suckered into that story, it is a ruse to sell coins. It’s relationship is with inflation not stock prices.

For the record I am not hawking the newsletter, I do not do it anymore, I got tired of the hassle of writing it.
