And price collapses aren't confined to the stock market, they occasionally hit high priced real estate too, resulting in a house being worth less than you owe on it. Remember the billboards around Seattle saying "will the last one out please turnoff the lights"? Investors that have a high percentage of their net worth tied up in non income living type real estate have to factor this into their retirement calculations more than people with equally nice houses that cost a lot less and may not require a mortgage. If margin (leverage) in stocks increases your risks, then mortgage loans (leverage) on houses may do the same. I've often thought that if homeowners could see the exact value of their house from minute to minute (The New York House Exchange or NAHD tape) it would make them so nervous many would turn into renters. Future demographics in the USA isn't good for real estate in general, but there are always exceptional situational areas like Silicon Valley in California.
