Housing sticks out like a sore thumb. 2% increase? Over what period? Case Schiller is double since the last dip (circa 2012), and a solid 45% up since the peak of the 2008 bubble. It has a sharp uptick in the past couple of years, sharper than the 2006 run up. Sure, 2% housing inflation, nothing to see here.
