Hvad forårsagede den faste ejendom boble at sprænge?
United States housing bubble
Den amerikanske boligboble var en ejendomsboble, der ramte over halvdelen af USA's stater. Boligpriserne toppede i begyndelsen af 2006, begyndte at falde i 2006 og 2007 og nåede et nyt lavpunkt i 2012. Den 30. december 2008 rapporterede Case-Shiller-boligprisindekset det største prisfald i sin historie. Kreditkrisen som følge af den bristede boligboble er - ifølge den generelle konsensus - en vigtig årsag til recessionen i USA i 2007-2009.
The United States housing bubble was a real estate bubble affecting over half of the U.S. states. Housing prices peaked in early 2006, started to decline in 2006 and 2007, and reached new lows in 2012. On December 30, 2008, the Case–Shiller home price index reported its largest price drop in its history. The credit crisis resulting from the bursting of the housing bubble is—according to general consensus—an important cause of the 2007–2009 recession in the United States.
