Prices went up because the federal reserve system has been playing very funny games. Old lessons often have to be repeated.

Elastic money will perpetually confuse people, as it takes the discussion out of reality. This is not a simple "supply/demand" problem. It is artificial booms/busts that were instigated by the fed.

Home inventory is up 13% from last April with 1.6 million homes available. Builders are starting to go under water and are trying to flush inventory. 90 day delinquent credit card bills are at a 12-13 year high.

Reality is that the lies keep coming. The most simple and effective propaganda that exists is repetition. The affordability crisis is real, but inventory has not decreased and there is no "shortage"
