This is an interview conducted by Business Insider Editor in Chief Henry Blodget In Davos.
The housing market is behaving strangely. The peak in the market was
around 2006; it went down for three years and if it behaved the same
way it had in the last cycle, it would continue going down for years
more. But then it had a sudden and sharp turn-around that we rarely see
in this market, in the spring of 2009, and that seems to coincide with
the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which created also the
Homebuyer Tax Credit. And the recovery lasted about as long as the tax
credit lasted.
