Mark Fleming, Chief Economist, First American:

"Housing supply remains at historically low levels, so house price growth is likely to slow, but it's not likely to go negative."

Freddie Mac:

"Two forces prevent a collapse in house prices. First, as we indicated in our earlier research report, U.S. housing markets face a large supply deficit. Second, population growth and pent up household formations provide a tailwind to housing demand."
