Home prices never crash

I'm not sure how to take that. Dark humor? This was the GFC. [The Great Recession and Its Aftermath](https://www.federalreservehistory.org/essays/great-recession-and-its-aftermath) This was pre-corona I mean covid. [Biden’s illegal immigration surge triggered 30% rise in home prices, 20% in rents, Fed paper finds](https://legitgov.org/bidens-illegal-immigration-surge-triggered-30-rise-in-home-prices-20-in-rents-fed-paper-finds/) This has the same flavor as the GFC did imho. Massive purchasing of Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS ) [The Failure of the Federal Reserve: The Covid Boom and Unnecessary Intervention](https://mises.org/mises-wire/failure-federal-reserve-covid-boom-and-unnecessary-intervention) "The Federal Reserve implemented quantitative easing (QE) by purchasing Treasurys, mortgage-backed securities (MBS), and agency debt. In March 2020, the Fed initiated its largest QE program, consisting of nearly $6 trillion in MBS and treasury purchases, purchasing assets at a rate of $120 billion per month ($80 billion in Treasurys and $40 billion in MBS). The federal funds rate, which before the pandemic was 1.58 percent, was lowered to a disastrous 0.05 percent in April 2020 and kept near zero for two whole years. It was still 0.08 percent in February 2022, when the Fed realized that inflation was not transitory."

You're trying to convince me we're in a housing market bubble, but we're not. Housing prices show our true inflation value and it's our currency and residency that is the issue, not artificial housing prices.

Yes its systematic, and yes its the dollar crashing, but yes, the housing market is a bubble. Only way its not a bubble is if the whole super bubble can burst all at once, then its all equal. But thats not how it works. It will spring leaks in certain places first. Housing will be one of those leaks.

Housing will not crash without the reduction of demand. It is basic macro economic theory.
