Powell Predicts Housing Market Correction As Existing Home Sales Decline For Seventh Straight Month
msn ^ | 09/22/2022 | Vance Cariaga

Powell made his comments at a news conference following the Fed’s decision to raise its benchmark interest rate by 75 basis points in its ongoing quest to tame inflation — the third straight time rates have been hiked by that amount. His comments also came on the heels of the National Association of Realtors’ latest home sales report, released on Wednesday. That report found that existing-home sales experienced a slight dip in August 2022 — the seventh straight month of declines. Year-over-year sales fell in all four major U.S. regions. Despite slower sales, housing prices have continued to zoom higher in 2022 as the supply of new homes lags in demand.

Supply and demand is no longer a rule. I postulate that the fed broke it purposelybiden printing and giving away money to the point that a fever of more more more affects and effects the country.
Damn the torpedo full steam ahead.
The result zimboggwond imflation on steriodods.

After seven straight months of declines, he “predicts” a correction?

His brilliance stuns.

Not a good time to be sitting on a variable rate HELOC or mortgage and having to heat a 2500 sq ft home. This will be a very tough winter.

Correct.

Hope I can get a new part-time job in the next few weeks. Before this disaster reaches its peak.

Finding something proper for me is difficult.

All prayers appreciated.

✝️🙏🛐

"...Damn the torpedo ..."

.

More like 'Damn the Hypersonic Cruise Missle!' -
'Hyperinflate Away!!!
'

.

Then the cruise missile runs out of fuel - and/or explodes.
Somewhat problematic, either way...

But don't worry!
Be cheerful, positive and happy, like me!

(Because I am not a genius Economist and therefore obviously know nothing...)

Powell’s prognosticative abilities are amazing. I hear that he predicted the 9/11 attacks on 9/15.

Sales declined, prices did not. But sales are still up from pre-pandemic and supply is still way below pre-pandemic. I think its unlikely the national median house price drops over the next 12 months and if it does it will not be by a lot. The high end of the market may decline some though, especially second home areas.
