Stimulating the housing Market? If anything homes are way overpriced. That investment opportunity left a long time ago. Wages aren’t catching up to affordability anytime soon. Many made a killing on real estate, but like every market there has to be a cool down time. Give it a couple, maybe even a few years.

Most of us still remember the sting of the last market crash caused by bundling and Fannie/Freddie letting people slide into the market with poor credit. It obliterated real estate.
