Finally, someone gets it.
“Clearly, after their very substantial run-up in recent years, home prices could recede,” Greenspan said. “A sharp decline, the consequences of a bursting bubble, however, seems most unlikely.”

Greenspan is just hedging his bets with this statement.
Rightfully or wrongfully, after being blamed by many (what else is new is our “shift the blame society,” right?), if this is a housing bubble ready to burst, Greenspan likely wants to go on record with his real estate warnings.
“If interest rates rise,” Greenspan says, “we can expect home prices to fall.”
At this point in the real estate cycle, it truly makes me wonder if Greenspan knows something we don’t.

In Treasury Notes, will create more supply than demand for investors, hence T-Note rates will rise… and mortgage rates will rise in mirror fashion.
Higher mtg rates are out there… within the next year, or less…
