In fact you could think of this as being a "reverse 401K" in terms of its effect on the stock markets.
Housing is a long-term obligation that will divert money from the market for years. Remember when the bubble was rolling, how every month the indices would jump around the first of the month, allegedly from "mutual fund 401K inflows" (although in truth it was more due to tape painting and window dressing). In any event, that's gone, gone, gone.
