For Week Ending September 7, 2013Publish Date: September 16, 2013 • All comparisons are to 2012
A pendulum spends little time in the middle. It tends to overswing center and hang out at the extreme before changing directions. Apply that to housing. Two or three years ago, almost no one would have foreshadowed concern over affordability, yet that's what some are cautioning against in an environment of rising prices and interest rates.
