I agree with all three reasons here but want to add a few more.<br/><br/>I feel rising taxes are on the horizon somebody has to pay for Social Security and Medicare. less money after taxes=less money to buy a house.<br/><br/>The baby busters are moving into their peak buying years and baby boomers are moving out.<br/><br/>Interest rates are likely to rise if we want attract foreign investors to prop up the dollar. <br/><br/>People just flat don't make enough money to support these prices. In the real world it takes about 100000 a year with 20% down to afford a 400 to 450000 dollar home. This is dependent on homeowners insurance, interest rates, and other debt obigations of course. <br/><br/>Any of these problems alone could sink housing a combination or all of them are possible.

The baby busters are moving into their peak buying years and baby boomers are moving out.

Interest rates are likely to rise if we want attract foreign investors to prop up the dollar.
