Amy, for the "housing haircut" to occur, it will require many people selling or attempting to sell their homes to a public unwilling or hesitant to buy. Supply/demand.

There's no denying that low interest rates have increased affordability and prices, but how a changing stock market or a flat real estate market will encourage homeowners to suddenly ditch their homes and run for the nearest rental, or will cause newly formed households to avoid buying homes, is something I will have to see to believe.

Could happen. Just don't think it will. Everyone else seems to be basing their beliefs about the future of real estate on factors which I think might not be relevant at all. To each our own....
