Depends where you are investing but most US real estate is way overvalued at the minute. The whole western economy has been built on nothing but ever increasing house prices over the last decade or so, and unless the banks wil, start lending people 10X salaries. There is only one way house prices are going to go imo.

I think real estate peaked in 2005 and has been in a 6-year bear market. I agree with your premise that house prices increased for a long time - not sure if they have increased over the last decade. If they are overpriced now, then they were ridiculouly overpriced in 2005 I guess.

Anyway, I dont know abt real estate much, so OP take whatever I say with a huge dose of salt.
