In today’s video we look at the recent housing reports. We discuss the slowdown in building permits, new housing starts and existing home sales. Additionally, we look at the S&P Case Shiller Home Price Index as a signal of consumer wealth and spending habits. We compare the negative moves in home prices to the negative moves in U.S. equities.
