US housing market hit a ‘significant slowdown’ in recent weeks, Redfin CEO says
Housing is only an 'investment' because of how expensive it inherently is.<p>However, my opinion has been that housing /has been/ in a bubble since at least the mid 2000s (pre recession); and it didn't actually deflate (at least in the area I live in) /during/ that recession.<p>It would really be nice if some way of fixing this bubble chasing nonsense happened.  Maybe if healthcare and retirement were fully socialized this would be less of an issue.
