Granted, the Fed's actions do drive up prices by artificially stimulating demand, but as you know that is precisely the goal.

If so, how long can we keep the Treasury Bill index at what might be considered artificially low rates before that comes back to bite us in the rear?

Artificial scarcity drives up prices!

Chris Martin well if the Feds didn't either mandate those loans, artificially, backstop those loans, or bail the banks out than what would be your bernie bro beef?

That's how you keep prices down, not by putting a gun on landlords headsLandlord would suffer either way but at least prices would be back to fair value and there would be no housing shortage; there wouldn't be ridiculous artificial bubbles like in LA where land is extremely abundant and prices totally disconnected from reality .

BP needs to coin a phrase for the opposite of irrational exuberance, where people think real estate is forever bound to fail because an artificial bubble popped a decade ago

Additionally, an environmentally controlled greenhouse gets most of its energy from the sun naturally instead of having to depend on very expensive artificial lighting and enclosed buildings with ultimate mold and premature deterioration issues that will undoubtedly ensue at some point.

I am just contemplating, but I would assume the bright and multiple color styles could have had something to do with the fact that new, artificial materials were being used for the first time and these materials could be more easily infused with color than the natural wood and stone materials of previous construction.Another thing I have noticed is that there are a lot of beautiful wood floors covered in crappy old carpet.

Calculating an ARV when prices are even slightly artificially high may mean losing if prices drop or the days on market are high.
