    Home prices are rising faster than market forces would indicate they should and are becoming "unhinged from fundamentals," according to a new blog post written by researchers and economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
    Until recently, the possibility of a bubble wasn't widely supported. But after looking at housing markets across the US, the Fed researchers said new evidence is emerging.

    "Our evidence points to abnormal US housing market behavior for the first time since the boom of the early 2000s," the researchers wrote. "Reasons for concern are clear in certain economic indicators ... which show signs that 2021 house prices appear increasingly out of step with fundamentals."

    I really think this is going to happen especially in certain hot spots like California. The price of homes here are so ridiculous in the major metropolitan areas that it is displacing the locals. The thing about bubbles is that the people making money off it will never admit the bust is coming. Either willingly to protect their interests or because greed is blinding. This inflation with wage stagnation and home rates rising is a recipe for disaster.
