Rosenberg acknowledges that the housing data has turned up significantly. But he notes that most of those metrics have cracks. And even if the bottom is indeed in place, there are "powerful offsets to the ballyhooed real estate revival," he writes. What follows are Rosenberg's comments and criticisms of the recent housing market data.

The U.S economy is already in recession. I was bullish about housing, but I saw some hiring forecast, retail numbers, and other metrics, and I've gone bearish again.

No matter how much Bernanke prints, don't be surprised if the 1st year of whoever takes the presidency is mired in recession (officially).

Not exactly a great climate to buy a house.

Yup says

Fiscal cliff will crush GDP. I fully expect both parties to be bitter after the election and choose to let us go over the edge. Average Joe is going to lose thousands of dollars in annual purchasing power.

That sounds contradictory. If we are allowed to go over the fiscal cliff (major reductions in gov spending), this would be a contraction to the monetary base, resulting in an increase in purchasing power, not decrease.
