[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It is very weird that people emphasize the importance of the supply of housing, and downplay the importance of interest rates. That's exactly backwards. Yes, the supply matters but only over many decades. If you want to change housing prices, increasing the supply is an extremely slow way to do it. [/quote] 1. Given the many other econ impacts of rates, its hard to argue (at least for me) that the fed should raise rates just to bring down prices in the central areas of the higher cost metros. 2. Raising interest rates will bring down prices, but not really the cost per year of housing so much. 3. Supply does not change housing prices over night, but certainly much faster than decades. 4. Increasing supply in transit oriented areas can help address transportation and enviro problems - it can be more targeted. [/quote]
