San Francisco Fed Prez Blames Foreign Investors: "One of the Reasons US Real Estate Prices Are Going Through the Roof"

On Friday, San Francisco Federal Reserve president John Williams at a media availability following a  Commonwealth Club of San Francisco event said that US real estate was being seen by foreign investors as a safe haven. He specifically singled out, San Francisco, New York, Miami, Seattle and Honolulu as cities attracting foreign money.

  1. In the first seven seconds John Williams says the he doesn't think that the high prices are as a result of US monetary policy i.e., money printing.

    Given the unsteadiness of the camera and the answer, I'm betting this was a reply to a Bob Wenzel question on money printing by the Fed.
