i am not saying that it is good but the reality is this

if you have to remeber we had gains from 2000 to 2006 of 100% to 200% in some areas - clearly now bubble like and unsustaniable

so yes we are still way overvalued in many cities across the country no matter what the politicans say or do

look at historical increases in houses over decades at a time to get an accurate picture

get the median income of an area and times that by 2-3 and that is where housing prices for that area should go to be affordable again by historical standards
