I found a few figures on some websites that state 10% as the historic avg. If that is the case, we would still be quite a bit away from panic for the avg investor. I understand that higher i-rates will hurt many who are leveraged up to their necks in debt and mortgages, but how will we keep speculative buyers away? I live in Orange County and it would seem to me that this RE bubble is years away from being pricked. Even with climbing i-rates, there are way more buyers than sellers.

Then again, perhaps rising i-rates will begin to weigh on homeowners and force them to sell. Once the ball starts rolling and more and more homeowners try and sell I could see how that will create a buyers market where home prices are bid down instead of up. That will be a strange sight to see...
