	DadTalk: The Housing Bubble Is Beginning to Burst
		There are plenty of symptoms of a bubble mentality in the United States, not least the surge in the turnover of existing homes to a record rate of 9 percent this year.
		Even more alarmed are the analysts at The Economist, who warn the housing market must crash, not only in the United States, but worldwide.
		First some history: when I started writing about the housing bubble late last spring, I was surprised to find DadTalk on the first Google page when I searched for “Housing Bubble.” While DadTalk generally trailed The Economist and a handful of other sites speculating on the housing market run-up, that was it.

	MSN Money - Housing mania will end in tears
		According to data passed along to me by a friend in London, the number of new single-family homes for sale in the United States is now greater than at any time since recordkeeping began in 1963.
		However, as is the case with all bubbles, this will pop of exhaustion (if it hasn't already).
		About two years ago, I began writing on my Web site about the lunacy in the financing of housing, something I called the "housing hot potato." The evolution of this has allowed folks to use their homes as ATMs to live beyond their means.

	real estate bubble?
		One authority on real estate recently stated that homes today are, in certain areas of the United States, selling for 250% of their real value.
		As for the naysayers that say that this is a new paradigm for the housing market or real estate investing, I offer only the observation that people said similar things in the years leading up to the spring 2000 bust of tech stocks.
		And yes, stocks and real-estate are different as assets, but at the same time their market valuations depend, bottom-line, on what someone else is willing to pay for them--or, as the case may be, overpay for them, with the assumption that in the future an even bigger fool will pay more.

	United States: History
		In the United States, the Nasdaq Internet and technology stock bubble, which had begun its rise in 1999, completely deflated in the second half of 2000, as the so-called new economy associated with the Internet proved to be subject to the rules of the old economy.
		In the race for technological superiority the United States exploded (1952) the first hydrogen bomb, but was second to the USSR in launching (Jan. 31, 1958) an artificial satellite and in testing an intercontinental guidedmissile.
		the territorial gains and westward movement of the United States were focusing legislative argument on the extension of slavery to the new territories and breaking down the Missouri Compromise of 1820.

		That conflict showed that the United States was again reluctant to commit military forces, such as its army, that were likely to suffer significant casualties, although it would use its airpower, where its great technological advantages enabled it strike with less risk to its forces.

	Transcript of a Conference Call Press Briefing by Kenneth Rogoff, Economic Counsellor and Director of Research, David Robinson, Deputy Director of Research and Jonathan Ostry, Assistant Director of Research, IMF
		Alan Greenspan has been asked this question and he says he does not think that we have a housing bubble in the United States.
		I mean, I think in my answer to the last question, I was quite careful not to say that there was a housing bubble, necessarily, in the United States because there are, you know, fundamental reasons why housing prices might increase.
		The authors of the various WEO essays are also with me, and as the press summary states, their names and titles are at the top of the press summaries which we circulated in advance of this briefing.

		Still, as in the mainland United States, the housing bubble is also being fueled by cheap credit.
		The demand for residential loans is higher here than in the United States, after adjusting for population differences.
		Credit cycles turn, dear reader, and this one will turn also - both in the mainland United States and in the future 51st - and anywhere else easy money has left her unmistakable footprints.

	Expert sees real-estate slowdown - July 23, 2005
		The Economist magazine is "scared to death" that a bubble has been created, he said, not just in the United States, but in many parts of the world.
		There are differing views on whether the run-up in housing prices represents a bubble just waiting to burst, Mitchell said.
		Mitchell, speaking to the Medford Rogue Rotary Club, noted that Oregon’s job growth was 3 percent for the 12 months ending in June, versus a national growth rate of 1.7 percent.

	Mises Economics Blog: Australia's inflationary boom
		I could add here that while there are many similarities between the situation in Australia and the United States, with a housing bubble (The bubble is even greater in Australia) and huge current account deficit, one striking difference is that the Australian dollar has been very strong.
		One is that Australia unlike the U.S. has a balanced budget and thus enjoys more confidence in the world markets and second that Australia as mentioned in the article greatly benefits from the rising commodity prices.
		Posted by: Mike Linksvayer at November 22, 2004 02:50 PM Mike, in Australia, interest payments can be deducted for any residential property, not just the primary residence.

	It's the Economy, Stupid
		The debate over the possibility of a US housing bubble raging in almost every paper, and even within the exalted shrine of the Federal Reserve Board, has prompted me to take a cursory glance at the housing market to see if I could spot signs of a speculative mania.
		To hear Walker, the nation's top auditor, tell it, the United States can be likened to Rome before the fall of the empire.

		Hundreds of clacking typewriters are tucked away in the administration and news building; and down the line at Habitat 67, there's only a soft rush of wind through the building-block housing units.
		Above all else, Canada's world fair is a highly sensual experience and a highly personal one: the theme is Man And His World, and individual responses to the centennial world that's been created in Montréal are as varied as those that separate one person from another in less magic years.

	Housing bubble to burst in spring 2006 - Krugman - Aug. 25, 2005
		CAMPOS DO JORDAO, Brazil (Reuters) - Soaring housing prices in the United States have created a real estate bubble that will likely burst early next year, Princeton University economist Paul Krugman said Thursday.

		"I'll give you a forecast which might very well be wrong, but I think it will burst in the spring of next year," he said at a derivatives conference in Brazil's winter resort of Campos do Jordao.

		And from what you read these days in the editorial pages, you would think that tone is a dirge, defined by the sour twin notes of a "massive" trade and fiscal deficit and the alarming sound of a "record low" savings rate, "sky high" oil prices and a "budding housing bubble."
		In the global economy, the United States plays the oboe, setting the tone.
		12, 2005 issue - A little-known fact about a symphony orchestra: the oboe must first sound a particular note for the other instruments to tune accordingly.

	IMF Blames Greenspan, Who Wonders About World - Forbes.com
		Issuing its latest "World Economic Outlook," the IMF took Greenspan, the Japanese and the Europeans all to task for failing to establish clear goals to fight the threat of falling prices, which has already gripped Japan and remains a threat because of weak growth in the United States and Europe.
		But Greenspan, for one, was not worried about the effects of a housing price bubble, though he repeated his view that one exists, at least in California and in some other "localized markets." He added his support for the war in Iraq.
		Much of the markdown was due to the temporary jump in world oil prices over worries about supply disruptions--worries that have abated since the outlook was drafted.

	Monetizing Envy and America’s Housing Bubble by Eric Englund
		The United States has devolved from a republic to a social democracy in which its citizens, for the most part, have become rude, lazy, stupid, and hedonistic (all characteristics of a people with high time preferences – refer to page 68 of Democracy: The God That Failed).
		For envy truly is the basis of democracy and thus can never provide a stable foundation for peaceful self-governance let alone the housing market.
		As part of the New Deal, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) was established in 1934.

	Debt Overtaking Not Just U.S. Households, But National GDP
		This debt is actually driven by the post-industrial society policy, which the Wall Street-City of London financier oligarchy imposed upon the United States in the mid-1960s.
		The debt service requirements are so large that they could not be met: There would not be enough GDP left over to sustain human existence, by providing the market-basket requirements of enough clothing, housing, food, etc., and a sufficient amount to pay the debt.
		Some of the debt will be "rolled over" i.e., refinanced with new debt, which swells the debt bubble even further.
