Fed Economist: Housing Marking Swoon Foreshadows Possible Recession
A top Federal Reserve economist for the Eighth District that includes Arkansas said in a recent research note several historically reliable housing indicators pointed to a possible recession in late 2019 or early 2020.

Movements in mortgage rates, existing single-family home sales, inflation-adjusted house prices and residential investment contributions to economic growth all seem to resemble patterns that preceded the last three recessions of 1990, 2001 and 2007, he said.
