Robert Shiller predicts the end of a 10-year housing market rally

Economist Robert Shiller, known for predicting the 2008 housing bubble, suggests that the U.S. housing market may experience a period of sideways movement rather than a crash or sustained boom. Shiller believes that the recent exuberance in the housing market, fueled by low interest rates, may be coming to an end as interest rates rise. While national house prices have rebounded after a decline earlier this year, Shiller suggests that these gains may be seasonal and could potentially lead to price declines in the fall and winter months. Shiller remains cautious but not panicked about the possibility of a soft landing for the U.S. economy.

Yale economist advises US home buyers to delay purchases.

Yale economist Robert Shiller has advised US home buyers to delay their purchases by six months or so, as home prices are expected to continue declining due to the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes and surging mortgage rates. Shiller, who co-developed the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller national home price index, said that home prices are very high by historical standards and that buyers could secure a more affordable deal if they wait. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 6.42% through last week, up by 2% compared to the same week one year ago.

Yale's Robert Shiller warns against high house prices.

Yale economist Robert Shiller warns that US house prices are still very high and suggests potential buyers should consider delaying their purchase for another six months as the US economy's struggles are likely to continue. Rising interest rates have helped fuel the housing slowdown, and Shiller believes that there's at least six months of declines left to come. He expects key policymakers to eventually accept a recession that helps to drag down prices. The latest edition of the Case-Shiller Index, set to be released on Tuesday, will show the extent to which US house prices rose or fell in January 2023.
