A crashing dollar will hammer in a nominal bottom in the real estate market. I wrote about six months ago that I was considering hiding in some RE transaction to get through the possible worm hole of dollar --> ?? although I'm not keen on owning another property. I've loosely thought that next spring would be the sweet spot. Prices in my area are going up recently, but I think that's a stimulus/future-taxpayer-robber bounce primarily.

However, as the reality of the dollar's dilution hits critical mass, it could ignite a rather fierce exit from the dollar, and RE will probably be high on the list. Hope those buyers realize that their RE taxes will skyrocket though.

I expect my junior minors to be the canaries, though, and one was singing a sweet song today (nsu).
