FULL THREAD. The Fed Mandate is, “maximum employment and price stability.” The Fed clearly does NOT include HOUSE price stability as part of their price stability mandate.

Now, the Fed destabilizes house prices with their QE, buying mortgage-backed securities when house prices are increasing which makes prices increase even more, and reducing holdings of MBS when prices are falling which makes prices fall even more.

If the Fed mandate included stable house prices, the Fed would do the EXACT opposite.

The Fed intentionally destabilizes house prices.

They like the wealth effect higher house prices have on spending and employment.

The Fed is happy to destabilize house prices and household wealth because they put the maximize employment mandate above the stable prices mandate.
