Events During 2006

2006 US Housing Market Peak

Goldilocks

June 2006 – February 2007

US home prices peaked in summer 2006 after a 106% rally from 2000. Subprime mortgage underwriting collapsed in late 2006, setting up the 2008 crisis. The peak is the canonical example of a market top visible only in retrospect.
