Watch the U.S. Housing bubble unfold over 8 years in this dramatic video representation of home prices relative to per capita income. The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) provides a quarterly index for over 350 Metropolitan Statistical Areas. Those values are described in a ratio to historical per capital income provided by another federal agency.

if you know anything about economics at all, you would find your argument amusing. the real economy is not a zero sum game. more money printed may not necessary dilute the existing dollar supply. it is a more complicated problem and require a more extensive study other than watching a few video on youtube. any decent economist would know that many of the youtube video are inaccurate to brainwash the ignorant messes. i suggest you go to school before attempting to comment.

I just realised that I used the word "based", three times in the same sentence. You know what I mean. Also, in regard to your supply/demand comment, there is a huge over supply in housing in America. I appreciate the reply but you have proven the point that you really don't understand what is happening at the moment. Watch the video that I suggested before commenting back because if you don't understand how money is created then you will never realise just how far off base your beliefs are.

No. You are mistaken.
The current financial system is based on a fiat based currency it is money that is based on the decree of the Government 'promise' and not on anything tangible. The only thing that drives the value of the dollar is the number of dollars in existence. The more dollars printed means that each dollar is worth less because it steals value from every other dollar in existence. Check out Paul Grignon's - "Money as Debt" video. You have some glaring holes in your knowledge.

what you said is incorrect. it's a simple supply and demand problem. more money printed with everything else the same = higher the price of housing and everything else. the reason is housing supply is relatively stable in comparison to the supply of money, mainly US dollar, as of today. at the rate the printing presses running, you will see a higher inflation rate. therefore prices will go up in the long run. unless the US government can absorb the excess liquidity, which is very unlikely.

House prices are definitely going to go down during this coming depression.
However, even if the dollar price in nominal terms may go up over time... the purchasing power of your dollar will lose value faster than any appreciation in house prices. If you don't realise that, then you should change your nickname from princeofstockmarket to pauperofstockmarket.

inflation is going to make house prices go up over time. what's the big deal? even if prices go down for a while, it will eventually go up again.
