Housing surge without predicted crash

Ben Carlson, director of institutional asset management at Ritholtz Wealth Management, observes that housing prices increased by approximately 50 percent over a few years without leading to a bubble or crash as many had predicted.

He questions why another housing bubble did not occur, inviting further discussion on the underlying factors.

Carlson has previously noted that the top 10 stocks in the S&P 500 now account for approximately 40% of the index, each with a market capitalization exceeding $1 trillion here. In another analysis, he suggested that advances in AI could increase S&P 500 EPS growth by 2% annually but also pose a 10% chance of existential risk to humanity here. His recent observations on housing continue a pattern of examining structural developments in major asset markets.
