It seems as a matter of intuition--and we know how far that will get you when considering macroeconomic issues, vbg--that the more inflated the bubble, the harder the fall

Housing bubbles have a kind of natural brake because people are actually using the houses and can just stay put in them (that is, unless there is a local economic collapse that is driving the housing prices down). When Boston's last housing bubble of the late 80s collapsed, prices dropped about 20% and took about 3 years to hit bottom; then slowly began to recover (now of course they have almost tripled since the bottom).
