Keep on printing money. It seems that home price growth requires The Fed to keep printing money.
S&P/Case-Shiller released the monthly Home Price Indices for November (“November” is a 3-month average of September, October and November closing prices). September closing prices include some contracts signed in July, so there is a significant lag to this data. Here is a graph of the month-over-month (MoM) change in the Case-Shiller National Index Seasonally Adjusted (SA).

“The fed is driving home price growth.”
And every dollar they print lowers its worth to 50 cents.

Printing money is an act of treason
Why, we were stupid enough to Constitutionally put put our monetary policy in the hands of public corporation run by private banking interests.
Do you know what else money-printing and debt-monetization creates?
Vast theft from the treasury by NGOs, Leftist cronies, welfare-fraud, and marxist street-activist organizations
America's massive, printed-fiat fed.gov debt has created a massive industry and constituency of literally hundreds-of-thousands of permanent, paid activists
We debase our currency to fund our own political destruction.
The U.S. Constitution does not mention the Federal Reserve by name. The Constitution grants Congress specific powers related to money, including the authority to "coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin" (Article I, Section 8). However, it does not explicitly authorize a central bank.
Despite this absence, supporters argue that Congress has the implied power to create a central bank under the Necessary and Proper Clause (also known as the Elastic Clause), which allows Congress to pass laws necessary to carry out its enumerated powers. The Supreme Court has upheld this interpretation, notably in McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), affirming the constitutionality of the Second Bank of the United States.
The Federal Reserve was established in 1913 by the Federal Reserve Act, a law passed by Congress, and operates as an independent agency. While its structure and independence are debated, the Supreme Court has historically recognized the constitutional basis for Congress to delegate monetary authority to such an institution.
So, while your statement is not factually correct, it is correct that we have allowed the ruling by the Supreme Court, in McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), to continue to go unchallanged. It might be time for Trump to challange that ruling.
When home prices rise people don’t like it. When home prices fall, people really don’t like it.
Looks like Mr. Yoy is back posting on FR.
Thank you, I stand corrected.
I mentally conflated the Federal Reserve Act with the Revenue Act of 1913, enabled by the ratification of the 16th amendment.
Either way both bills were both signed by Woodrow Wilson, IMHO the second worst President in history after FDR.
No problem, glad you accepted it in the spirit in which it was offered. I make statements that aren’t quite correct myself, but it isn’t done with the intention of delibertly trying to mislead anyone. I saw that you intention also wasn’t a deliberate attempted to deceive. 😁👍
