[quote=CA renter]
The low rates will provide a floor of sorts, and maybe even cause a bounce, but if the reason for the low rates is the strengthening dollar, housing prices will eventually fall, too, IMHO.[/quote]

We shall see, CA renter.

More liquidity sloshing around means higher asset prices.

Compared to the rest of the world, American house prices are pretty low right now.

I think there will be stagnation of house prices for a couple years…. but I’m not sure how much lower they could go. Talking about house prices in general here. Certain higher end markets still have deflation in their near future.

Money Jan/Feb isue has some interesting stuff for the lay investor. It explains that the government isn’t really printing money but giving banks credit on their credit sheets for reserves. Now as long as the banks don’t loan out on this “cash reserve” then we don’t seem to see the inflation. Once the banks feel confident we are on track towards recovery then they will loan and we will have inflation. Until then BAU.

There is no demand for the money because the public is saturated with debt. This does free up extra cash for banks to speculate on, though. Hence, the commodity bubble.

So basically, the people are broke and debt encumbered while the banks are running up necessities in gambling schemes. lol
