Climbing unemployment hurts real estate. While the Fed pumping money into our relatively stable stock market helps it.

The real estate market is always a good indicator of the state of the economy. Unlike the stock market, the Fed won't print money to prop up real estate prices. A central bank doesn't want to bother with maintenance, repairs, and property taxes. What a hassle!

You must be kidding me. That's EXACTLY why the Fed prints more money ... to ensure that properties retain at least sufficient value to cover the underlying mortgages.
