• House prices just soared beyond - beyond reason in many places and they got financed in silly ways, and people lied about loans, all kinds of accesses entered into it. But that is what - that is the single biggest cause of why we're here.

• We’ve never had a decline in house prices on a nationwide basis. So, what I think what is more likely is that house prices will slow, maybe stabilize, might slow consumption spending a bit. I don’t think it’s going to drive the economy too far from its full employment path, though.

• It is almost impossible to open a newspaper without reading something about the London housing market. House prices are rising at such a rate that the vast majority of Londoners can't afford to buy, are being forced out of the boroughs they grew up in, or in the worst cases, are being made homeless. If nothing is done, people will continue to be driven out of the city and London will cease to be a hub for creativity and entrepreneurship.

• Con la vivienda es algo incluso más dramático que eso, porque la mayoría de la gente aspira a tener su propia casa.Si realmente piensas que los precios de las casas van a subir el año que viene y el siguiente, sientes que si no la compro este año, voy a tener que comprarla el año que viene.Eso no es cierto de una acción de Internet. Pero sí en el caso de una casa.

• But 300 million Americans, their lending institutions, their government, their media, all believed that house prices were going to go up consistently. And that got billed into a $20 trillion residential home market. Lending was done based on it, and everybody did a lot of foolish things.

• If you really think that houses prices are going to go up next year and the year after, you feel if I don't buy it this year, I'm going to have to buy it next year. [...] And when somebody makes it very easy for you to do it by saying you don't really have to put up my money, you can lie about your income a little, or we'll give you 100 percent mortgage, you're going to do it, because everybody that's done it has been proven right. You have what they call social tools, and, you know, you're going to feel like an idiot if you didn't do it, because the house cost more.

• There is plenty of blame to go around for the U.S. housing bubble, but not much of it belongs to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The two giant housing-finance institutions made many mistakes over the decades, some of them real whoppers, but causing house prices to soar and then crater during the past decade weren't among them.

• Es difícil entusiasmarse con las perspectivas de la economía cuando los precios de la vivienda están bajando: Los hogares gastan menos, los propietarios de pequeñas empresas no pueden utilizar sus casas como garantía de préstamos y las administraciones locales se ven obligadas a recortar empleos y programas al desaparecer los ingresos por el impuesto de bienes inmuebles.
