As time marches on, and more and more people flood in...and they will and are, I predict desirable areas that have lots of jobs, with year round great weather, (very scarce) will continue to increase in value...Resembling a staircase...Some flat spots, but gradually going up.

I can't imagine 50 million more in the U.S. in the next decade or two will be like but that's what's going to happen. If you have RE you can sit on for a few years...I would opt to do just that.

All bets are off for areas with few jobs, and lousy weather where heating and cooling costs become brutal.

In my opinion, it not about the desirable areas so much its about jobs available.
