Robert Shiller: Home prices have been going up for nearly a year now, according to our data, the S&P/Case-Shiller indices ... Normally we could extrapolate that kind of upward trend because historically home prices have shown a lot of momentum. But I think we're in a very unusual circumstance because of the massive bailouts, the homebuyer tax credits, the Fed's purchase of mortgage-backed securities -- and these things are coming to an end.

Housing has been going sideways for seven months now, mainly due to lax lending standards (at FHA), the First time Homebuyers Credit, and the Fed's mortgage-backed securities (MBS) buyback program. But once the props are removed, the market will fall sharply.

So where's the real demand for housing?

Here's a hint: There isn't any.
