<. That housing activity index seems to follow a 4-5-year cycle even more strongly than the stock market does.> As one reply on the linked website says, there is no correlation on the left of that chart. Britain's housing bubble started to collapse when America was still enjoying an upsurge-so the global economy is strong. I think you could make a case it's weaker now. This unprecedented liquidity surge combined with looser lending policies and new mortgage products should mean there is less correlation.
