Don't expect house prices to fall this winter, says Goldman Sachs economist

• House prices have held steady this year in the face of a supply-starved market.
• And there's no relief coming for prospective homebuyers this winter, says a Goldman Sachs economist.
• "Prices are unlikely to decline meaningfully" because of the supply shortage, said David Mericle.

Prospective homebuyers shouldn't count on prices falling this winter – because there just aren't enough properties being put up for sale, according to a top Goldman Sachs economist.
