Boy, I sure do hope you are right. One thing in favor of your forecast is the Fed's tendency to keep rates so low and print money. That will keep the wind behind the sails of the RE markets for years to come, unless they have to start raising to fight inflation. However, Powell has stated explicitly that they are willing to let inflation run hot over 2% for awhile, before they will reign it in, because they say that will counteract the inflation running below their target for so many years. Of course, they aren't measuring inflation correctly, but that won't stop them. So they will blow this RE bubble to gigantic proportions. I think short dated bonds, gold, and RE (especially in the high end) are going to continue to be great places to protect your wealth from the Fed's craziness. If we see Powell change course, then we should talk about this again and figure out what the will mean.

Your thesis on the millennials is a really interesting one and has a great deal of merit. They are going to be inheriting a lot of money from the boomers over the next 20 years, so that should also act as a wind behind their sails as they buy more real estate and pay down their mortgage debt.
