I don't agree Ork. I think RE may be affected by tightened lending standards in the non-bubble areas, but the driver of people buying residential RE in a non-bubble area is acutal demand for housing.
As has been stated previously, maybe 25 to 30 percent of demand in the bubble areas is from specualtors. When these guys walk, they dump the houses on the banks, which sell them at a discount - driving prices down and increasing inventory. This won't be happening in the non-bubble areas.
