yes, the bubble is concentrated in California, NYC, and a few other locations. nevertheless, the sharp decline in home equity ownership IN SPITE of generally rising RE prices (whether the price rises are bubble-like or not doesn't matter much w.r.t. this) shows that leverage in the system has steadily increased...you should have seen the FNM chairclown today : "interest rate movements can't hurt us, 'cause we're HEDGED". LOL! they're leveraged 1:154!!!

i'd say there's PLENTY of counterparty risk there.
