Bubble-Watcher, Bob Shiller Warns "We're Primed To Repeat 2008" As Housing Momentum Slows

in realestate •  6 years ago 

Is history repeating itself?

Robert Shiller, of the famed Case-Shiller Real Estate Index, feels that is the case. He sees a lot of similarities between now and the last housing bubble from a decade ago.

There are a lot of signs of weakness including a slowdown in construction and homes sitting on the market longer. Rising interest rates are pointed to as one of the causes. As the Fed tightens, homes become more expensive putting a wrench in the market.

This on top of a market that many believe was too extended after a 7 year run up due to historically low interest rates.
