"After doubled interest rates, increased real estate demand and inflation, even house loans are now becoming too expensive for first-time buyers in Summit County, according to local officials.

The Bank of International Settlements recently warned low rates produced housing bubbles in advanced economies. While they argue it is a global phenomenon, they say it's due to monetary policy errors repeated across multiple advanced economies. They suggest higher rates can be painful, but not tackling this problem can make it worse. If the trend isn't correct, the BIS warns the fallout will be beyond the housing market."
