“The housing market has been turbocharged by the greatest direct stimulus in history over the past 18 months. I hear so much that the past year ‘recovery’ has to be ‘organic’ because the ‘government’ is not providing any stimulus or subsidies. Perhaps, technically they are correct because the Fed is not a government agency. But when you factor in the power of the Fed buying rates down from 5.5% in 2011 to 3.25% in 2012/13 on demand and 6.5 million mortgage mods on supply you come up with a very volatile situation if that go-go-juice is ever taken away. And it was just taken away.”
