As the stock market deflates, there should be some pain with the “wealth effect”. Over the past 2 years many people got more confident and their consumer spending and appetite for purchasing including real estate went up.

Agree, excellent point about the stock market and the psychological impact on the real estate side. Especially with the overly exuberant rate of increase we seen recently.
