""I think it's more likely that an economic slowdown will pop housing prices than the other way around.

But I could be wrong. :^)""


youre actually 100% correct....there has never been a housing price decrease in the USA without a recession preceeding it.

In So Cal in the early 1990s, prices peaked in 1990-91, but the recession began in 1990.

A recession will pop the bubble, the popping bubble will reinforce the recession.


Bubbles dont pop on their own, they need some outside variable to do it

If I recall correctly, the stock market sold off heavily the day the feds sued microsoft and it was all downhill from there.
