I think the only thing which will deflate the real estate market is higher interest rates. That cycle may be looming next year if the Fed overshoots here and has to begin a tightening phase. I think the reason real estate remained so strong throughtout the equity deflation is that interest rates kept dropping spurring refinancing and purchasing despite the emptier pocket books of the consumer.
