In the 70's housing went up on rising rates. This time it's been on lower rates. In the 80's, rates started a 19 year down cycle. Somewhat of a cushion for Real Estate. There aren't enough rate cuts left in this housing market to cushion the blow. As for oil. There are some similarities to the 70's. Big difference in the stock market is that the participation by individuals is at an entirely different level now. Which serves to prop it up yet leaves it a scary levels.
