In probably three fourths of the country RE is fairly or even undervalued today.

i think it is overvalued in many areas outside of the egregious coastal bubbles, but the high prices on the coasts make inland prices look reasonable by comparison, even if they aren't. many houses in central Austin, e.g., have doubled since 2000 thanks to the credit bubble which allowed lifetime renters to buy houses with their next rent check. i think there was a secular shift to capitalizing house values based on 5% ARMs with 40% or more of disposable income, compared to 8% 30yr fixed with 30% of disposable income back in the early to mid-1990s. if that gets unwound a lot of inland areas will be vulnerable.
