It would be interesting to see the San Diego months of resale inventory going all the way back to 2000. Wonder if this was what really caused the peak/frenzy leading up to the peak in 2005/2006.

I would say that now is similar to pre boom times. Although money is not “loose” it is certainly cheap to those with access to it. So with low interest rates, so much money sitting in cash, and low inventory, I think it’s triple witching time for the “rich” to start a real estate bubble of their own. I predict in the next 2 years a small bubble that will run real estate up 50%.

2 years is a bold prediction,
2 years is a bold prediction, but 50% is not. We can get 50% by 7% a year for 6 years. As flu said in other thread, we got 12% this year. So at this rate, we just need 3-4 years for 50%.

What evidence over the long term is there for 7% appreciation in home values. The 10+% per year during the bubble was an extreme outlier, traditionally you might get 2-3% at best over 10 year time frames. This past year just happened to produce a situation where December 2011 marked a low point so things are up, but look at the past 2 years, 3 years, or 4 years, and the return are low single digits even after the 12% gain.

You are right. It is probably nonsense. I wrote that reply after reading this:

But I think traditionally, it should track inflation which is not going to be up that much in the next few years.

With inventory shrinking and price rising, I wonder if people have wrongly accused the “government manipulation” on this board. After all, the US housing market has a good crash and it now seems to be a short one as well.
It might be shorter if we remove all the “government manipulation” starting from middle of 2008, but three years at the bottom is not that bad, comparing to other countries. Unless, people think we haven’t seen the end of it yet. But almost every indicator right now is saying that the worst is behind us:
