The U.S. housing shortage may be turning into a housing glut. For years, we've been told America simply isn't building enough homes. That may have been true. It isn't looking that way anymore. Over the past 12 months: 1.35 million homes have been completed while only 500,000 jobs have been added....

This was a quiet week on the surface, but there's a real disconnect between what the Fed is saying and what the market is pricing.
