Denton County Housing Market Now Dependent On Fed Liquidity

The Denton County housing market is now a dependent of the Fed. Over 3 $trillion in quantitative easing has ramped home prices to record highs while driving inventory to record lows. North Texas housing no longer resembles a normal market. Borrowers can now be in COVID mortgage forbearance for up to 15 months while the Fed is busy blowing another massive asset bubble. The American Enterprise Institute has called out the Federal Reserve for blatantly distorting the housing market, but the Fed is still flooding the system with liquidity. Some FOMC officials are calling for [...]

North Texas Housing Bubble Gasping For Air

The North Texas housing bubble was gasping for air in December. Inventory continued to dry up across the Dallas Fort Worth market, helping to push median and average home prices up 9.7 percent and 12.3 percent respectively. Prices on a per square foot basis hit fresh new highs in North Texas as 2020 came to a close. Ironically we saw a bevy of Federal Reserve officials calling for more inflation in the economy last week while home prices were posting double-digit year-over-year gains. North Texas home sales were up 16 percent from December of 2019. [...]

North Texas Housing Inflation Much Worse Than Official Statistics

Housing inflation in North Texas is much worse than official statistics would have you believe. This is a feature, not a bug of the financial system we live in. The Federal Reserve's preferred measure of housing inflation, owners' equivalent rent, is a comical joke which is purposely used to provide the appearance of tame, measured inflation in the U.S. economy. Many government officials use the official CPI measure of housing inflation despite its inherent flaws in capturing actual home price inflation experienced by consumers and home buyers. The CPI measure of owners equivalent rent is [...]
