What Will The End Of The Housing Boom Look Like?
When America's housing boom ends, it will end gradually, not like the stock market, says a Harvard scholar.
"Unlike stock prices, the housing market can't collapse in a few days. People can dump their stocks almost instantly, but it often takes months to sell a house.
In past housing busts in California, New England and elsewhere, many owners who couldn't get what they considered a reasonable price yanked their houses off the market. The number of transactions plunged but prices fell only gradually, often over several years."
