Maybe, John, but rates are going up. I think everyone is going to be shocked by just how much rates will go up. That is a macro factor that will crush any housing recovery. It is quite possible that we see the 10-year Treasury up to 4% by next summer when QE has finally ended. That would put the 30 year at something like 6% and mortgage rates at 7-8%. Do you think housing can continue to recover, even with a gen-Y demand pushing prices up?

I'm skeptical. I've said for a long time now that QE and ZIRP have consequences. Nothing is free in life and eventually we're going to have to pay the price for the last 4 years of largesse. The next one year is going to be torturous.
