Another difference is that in the stock bubble there was often a broker between the owner and the market ... having a third party involved can help overcome the owner's natural unwillingness to acknowledge having made a mistake and cut his losses.

When the real estate bubble unwinds I expect that many speculators will go down with the ship rather than cut losses, as there will be no third party to tell them "I really think you should take some money off the table here." They may even add exposure.

So the breakdown may come in the form of a wave of foreclosures rather than a wave of selling.
