Robert Shiller (Case-Shiller Housing Index) Talks Real Estate

Professor Robert Shiller, half of the Case-Shiller Home Index team, says US home prices do not seem overpriced on a price-to-income or price-to-rent basis. But, Mr. Shiller recently stated he did not expect home prices are going to start heading up dramatically now.

Also, Mr. Shiller stated that low interest rates do not seem to matter very much in determining home prices.

Another interesting tidbit from Mr. Shiller is that he indicates after most bubbles, there is an "overshoot" on the downside after the bubble bursts.

Based on the information we have from Mr. Shiller, my sense is he believes homes are nearing fair value, but could "overshoot" on the downside from the most recent bubble bursting. He also does not seem to think the Federal Reserve's monetary policy inducing low interest rates will have much of an effect on driving up house prices.
