I think trend will not hold this time as it has historically. The Feds intention was to purposely cool the housing market by raising short-term rates. That appears to be working but it has not slowed the entire economy down. If anything, it will be energy that slows the economy from a great bull market in 2006 to a slow but steady bull market.

Why does raising short-term rates cool the housing market?
