What the Heck Is Going on in the Housing Market?

Description

Some very strange things are going on in the housing market. Valuations are skyrocketing in most areas, enriching existing homeowners but making first-time homebuying much more difficult, despite historically low interest rates.

What is the cause of skyrocketing home valuations? Is this a short-term or long-term pattern? Why aren’t homebuilders flooding the market with new homes in a market reaction to the price signal? And how long should we expect mortgage rates to remain this low?

Please join the Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI) on September 7 for a virtual policy briefing with Edward Pinto, Director of the Housing Center at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), who will discuss these and other housing-related issues and answer your questions.
