Shiller Says Home Prices in U.S. May Decline for ‘Some Time’

June 7 (Bloomberg) — Robert Shiller, the Yale University professor who predicted the collapse of the U.S. housing market, writes in a New York Times article today that home price declines “may well continue for some time.”

Shiller noted that U.S. home prices didn’t begin moving up, “even incrementally,” until six years after the end of the prior housing boom in 1990-91. Home prices in Japan fell every year for 15 years after the 1991 bursting of Japan’s real estate bubble, he wrote in the column.
