Summary: MoneyWatch Ask The Experts: Jill Schlesinger, Jack Otter, and Ilyce Glink Talk Housing Market. The federal government has poured trillions of dollars into the U.S. housing market in the form of tax credits and the purchase of more than a trillion dollars in U.S. housing-backed securities. Is that what’s propping up the housing market? Last week, Ilyce was in New York at MoneyWatch.com headquarters and taped this podcast with Jack and Jill.
MoneyWatch Ask The Experts
CBS MoneyWatch Editor At Large Jill Schlesinger, Jack Otter and ThinkGlink’s Ilyce Glink Talk About The Housing Market
When I was in New York last week, shooting video, I also spent more than a half hour creating a podcast with CBS MoneyWatch editor at large Jill Schlesinger and MoneyWatch blogger and editor Jack Otter. We had a great time talking about how the government has injected trillions of dollars into the housing market – and for what? It’s a mixed bag out there. The good in today’s housing market is clearly the result of the $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit (and $6,500 trade up home buyer tax credit) and the $1.25 trillion mortgage-backed securities buying spree the Fed has been on.
Clearly, we’re going to have a strong start to the new year. But then what? Tune in as Jill, MoneyWatch’s Jack Otter, and I discuss the continuing crisis in the housing market.
