This bubble will expand as long as mortgage rates are below the level of inflation.

CPI is a joke, between hedonic adjustments and substitutions it is designed to never show the true level of inflation.

If housing inflation is 20%, consumer inflation is 8%, maybe those who borrow interest only at 5% are smart after all.

Expecting the bubble to burst is reasonable, however reason only works in the free market economy.
