I think what we ordsprog

I think what we have in store is a slow deflating of the housing bubble, not a bursting of the bubble. But if mortgage rates rise more sharply than I am expecting, then the downturn in housing could be more severe.

Freddie Mac's problems might only raise mortgage rates 2/10 of 1 percent, ... But that could start a cycle of higher rates that could pop the [housing] bubble. If you hadn't had mortgage rates at historic lows, I'm certain the bubble would have burst already.

A bursting of the housing bubble could result in a severe recession.

Although the signs are mixed, the housing industry is now beginning to shift into slower gear, and higher mortgage rates will only strengthen that change. However, we see no signs of a bursting bubble, but rather a return to a more normal pace of activity.

Bubble conditions may not be present yet but are approaching such and thus require close monitoring going forward. To allay this concern, housing price increases will need to start to moderate soon from recent sharp increases. Our expectation is that this should occur, since rising mortgage rates should slow the growth in housing prices to a rate below gains in income.

We say it's a bubble, but a housing bubble does not pop like a stock market bubble, ... A stock market bubble, when it pops, lots of market activity, prices dropping rapidly. Housing prices don't drop that way because there's a huge fixed cost. You don't day-trade your home.

I don't believe there is a housing bubble bursting. I think there will be an evening off of demand and an evening off of price escalation. We won't see the big rises we've enjoyed in recent years. But that doesn't mean there will be a downturn.

All forecasts are for interest rates and mortgage rates to go up a little bit again this year. It could let some of the air out of not the bubble but with what's going in increasing housing prices.

The Commodore 64 is the computer that attracts demo programming. As long as housing prices don't go down, consumers have more equity they can borrow against. If mortgage rates go up another 1.25 or 1.5 percent and pierce 7 percent -- watch out. That's when the housing bubble bursts and consumers would cut back on spending a lot.

Although mortgage rates are beginning to rise, we have yet to experience much of a slow down in the housing market.

A lot of the slowing has to do with all the talk about a housing bubble and with affordability, which is being driven partly by price and partly by mortgage rates. The overall mood has changed.

Despite the gradual rise in mortgage rates over the last two months, housing starts were actually up in September, highlighting the resiliency of the housing market,

Despite the gradual rise in mortgage rates over the last two months, housing starts were actually up in September, highlighting the resiliency of the housing market.

I think the Fed is pretty much done for this economic cycle, unless some major catastrophe develops, such as a messy war in the Middle East or a housing bubble bursting.

There's no national housing bubble, ... About a third of the markets appear to be overpriced, if that's the definition of a bubble. That means two-thirds are not.
