Fantastic, everybody made some good money in the past 18 months thanks to the Fed’s aggressive monetary policy — or, to be specific Twist, QE3, and QE4 — which dropped mortgage rates from 5.5% to sub 3.5% almost overnight in late 2011. This made it so everybody could instantly “afford” 20% more house. Over the next year this increase in “purchasing power” pushed house ‘prices” higher.
