Johnson\u2019s BH&amp;J Index was nearing a score of 1 (the highest possible score) in the summer of 2006, indicating extreme downward pressure on the demand for home ownership. Today, that score stands at .039.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt looks like we\u2019re in for more of a very high tide, as opposed to a tsunami, as residential pries peak in this latest cycle,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cAt a minimum, we can expect flatter housing price growth. At worst, we could experience price declines slightly below the long-term pricing trend.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Johnson\u2019s research is based on a national composite of housing prices and estimates of the downward pressure on the demand for home ownership, so the housing picture in some cities will look vastly different from others. For instance, three metropolitan markets \u2013 Dallas, Denver and Houston \u2013 are all currently significantly above their long-term housing price trends, with very high scores on the BH&amp;J Index.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cCould crumbling local housing markets create a contagion problem that spreads into other markets across the country?\u201d Johnson asked. \u201cThat\u2019s something we\u2019ll need to keep an eye on. Residential housing cycles are a relatively new phenomenon, which makes predicting a spread in the coming housing slump very difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FAU Study Shows U.S. Housing Market Overheated, But Only Slight Downward Pressure on Demand for Home Ownership National housing prices as a whole are slightly overheated and residential real estate markets are experiencing minimal downward pressure on the demand for homeownership, according to a new study from faculty at the Florida Atlantic University College of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15802,"featured_media":4822,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3255],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-1173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v26.8) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>FAU Study Shows U.S. Housing Market Overheated, But Only Slight Downward Pressure on Demand for Home Ownership<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"FAU study shows U.S. housing market overheated, but only slight downward pressure on demand for home ownership.
