Fed Chair Jerome Powell Warns of a Housing Bubble. 7 Things to Know.
2 de dez. de 202217:53
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell spoke recently about the dangers of the U.S. housing bubble.
Investors and regulators will note this is the first time Powell has gone on record to say the market is experiencing a bubble. While he's warned about the rising costs of homes, he's never gone so far as to apply the term bubble to it until now.
What do traders and consumers need to know about this? Let's go over what Powell said below!
Housing Bubble Warning
According to Powell, this housing bubble is the result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
He says it started as homeowners sought to move to more suburban areas to avoid cities during the pandemic.
Adding to that problem is an ongoing shortage of houses in the U.S.
The Fed Chairman says this is the result of the country already being built up and zoning issues being a problem.
Powell warns the rising price of homes can't last.
While he didn't use the term "housing crash" in his statement, he did say he expects the market to "go through the other side" of the bubble.
Even so, he says home prices should recover and reach a better middle ground between the two extremes.
