Just in case you aren't tracking...the US is actively going bankrupt...there is no feasible means to repay or service the demographically driven debt other than print, ZIRP, and QE. Before the end of the decade, the implications will collapse the ability to continue this

Anybody spend anytime going through the NAR Housing Shortage Tracker? What you may notice are the majority of metro areas (174 actively tracked) deemed to have a housing shortage (I'm using their total shortage tab) are in areas that have long standing depopulation, long standing

the situation in Japan is so instructive of what is and what's coming for the US... Japan's Nikkei (stock market, yellow) peaked in 1989 just prior to Japan's working age population (blue, millions) peaking and beginning its secular decline. Bank of Japan dropped their discount

How to prove US is in a RE bubble? Take a place like West Virginia with ongoing depopulation, ongoing working age depopulation, ongoing declining employees, collapsing young, vs rising housing units...and check all this against housing prices. What you get is a 1000% bubble

Housing shortage doesn't equal a shortage of physical housing units to physical occupants but instead an excess of cheap $'s in the hands of a minority chasing real assets. There have never been more housing units per capita than now...

Many will see China's population decline for 2nd straight year as very negative factor. Population size/growth has almost no correlation with a country's growth. Do people forget China was the largest country last 200+ years and was also one of the poorest?!

Every peak in # of new houses sold monthly (white line) has corresponded with a new low in the 30yr mortgage rate (black line). I'd suggest far lower new house sales are coming until a far lower (record low?) mortgage rate is "achieved". Absent this, the engine for the US economy
