Not everyone thinks the housing market is faltering:

House prices have firmed up in recent months thanks to a combination of fewer homes being put on the market and stronger demand for the inventory that’s available,” Diggle said.

“But as firmer prices act to attract sellers back into the market and keep a lid on demand, that should in turn help prevent a further acceleration in price growth. Admittedly, our forecast of 4% house price growth in both 2015 and 2016 is stronger than the consensus expectation of 3.5%. But with the prospects for the wider US economy looking increasingly promising, that is a position that we are happy to occupy," he said. -- Trey Garrison in HousingWire http://www.housingwire.com/articles/33044-not-everyone-thinks-housing-is-faltering
