Home Prices are a Lagging Economic Indicator

  • Most of the declines in house prices happen AFTER a recession ENDS!!
  • The S&L recession ended in March 1991.
  • The Great Recession ended in June 2009.

Looks like there’s a lot of truth to the idea that most, or at least a lot of, real house price declines happen after a recession ends.

Of course, there were no real house price declines before, during, or after the 2001 Dot.com recession.

Nevertheless, it seems likely to me that we’ll see a recession start within the next 6 months or so.
