Formulating a US House Prices Forecast

Momentum , economic and trend analysis paints an overall bullish picture for US house prices, one of first a continuation of the correction coming into 2019 that resolves in a resumption of the bull run into the end of 2020 that was targeting house price inflation of about +7% over these 2 full years of data into early 2021. Which would convert into the Case Shiller 10 city Index (SPCS10RNSA ) rising from 225.9 (Jan 2019 data) to about 242 (Jan 2021 data).

However, against this we have a near certain Imminent real terms SELL Signal, that implies to expect a much tougher 2019 and a shallower bounce into the end of 2020, which will likely see house prices entering into a significant down trend going into 2021. So US house prices will be lucky to achieve even half 7%.

US House Prices 2019 to 2021 Trend Forecast Conclusion

Therefore my forecast conclusion is for a relatively weak continuation of the US housing bull market into late 2020 at a much shallower pace than experienced in recent years for a likely gain of just 3% over the next 2 years (Jan 2019 to Jan 2021) before entering into a downtrend going into 2021 i.e. Case Shiller 10 city Index (SPCS10RNSA ) rising from 225.9 (Jan 2019 data) to 232.4 (Jan 2021 data) as illustrated by my trend forecast graph.

Peering into the Mists of Time

Standing here in April 2019, late 2020 and 2021 look set to be a tough time for the US economy, house prices, and the stock market, markets that tend to discount the future i.e. not wait for GDP to start falling before they take a tumble. Which is good because any drops in target stocks will provide another opportunity to invest in the machine intelligence mega-trend.
