The End of the Housing Boom

 From the US and UK to New Zealand and the Czech Republic, the world economy is facing yet another threat: the unraveling of a massive housing boom. 

Global monetary tightening is squeezing homebuyers, which could create a ripple effect that would deepen an economic slump.

To be sure, a 2008-style collapse is unlikely.  Lenders have tightened standards, household savings are still robust and many countries still have housing shortages. 

Labor markets are also strong, providing an important buffer.
