Nobel laureate Robert Shiller said he “wouldn’t be at all surprised” if U.S. house prices soon started to decline.

The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller index of property values in 20 cities decelerated for a 15th month in June, increasing 2.1% from a year earlier. Shiller noted that adjusting for inflation, prices had already flattened.
