Guest Post: Is Housing An Attractive Investment? | ZeroHedge

Guest Post: Is Housing An Attractive Investment? | ZeroHedge: "The thesis for higher demand for housing and rentals is based on these assumptions:

The economy is on a sustainable uptrend of growth
Employment is also on a sustainable uptrend
Inflation will remain low
Household income will soon resume an uptrend
The Federal government will continue issuing unprecedented amounts of cash transfers to households
The Federal government will continue to fund housing subsidies and mortgage guarantees
The Federal Reserve’s plan to keep interest rates low for the foreseeable future will also apply to mortgage rates
The MERS/robosigning Foreclosuregate issues will all be settled without disrupting the housing market
The bulge in inventory will be liquidated as new supply (i.e., newly built homes) stays well below demand (sales)
New household formation will drive demand for rentals and homes"
