I think you're conflating a few things. Even bubble markets correct. Exclusive zip codes tend not to as much because the owners are well-heeled and the market offerings dry up until the next cycle. What happened post 9/11 due to easy money is that RE speculation became a national phenomenon whereas normally it was regional. 2005-2011 defines that cycle high to low give or take some months. Post GFC it became more regional again and lending standards tightened. Early COVID FHA, Fannie and Freddie loosened standards again and that juiced the latest mini-bubble, imo. Demand may be strong but maybe not affordable depending on your zip. I'm not much of a RE/house jobber, know smarter people than me that are, but have been involved in a few development deals where there was value added and money to be made in any market! My biggest win was an overseas project that ended up being not what i knew but who and the timing to swoop in and pick up the interest of a failed partner! :-)
