Here is the single biggest problem with the "sky is falling" argument about the bursting housing bubble.
People gotta live somewhere!
The US population is still growing!
There ain't no new land to be found within our boarders!
Therefore, long-term demand will go up. Most of the time housing demand will go up faster than supply and prices will go up.
Until some high level economic guru addresses that argument, panic over short-term market volitility is an excercise in trivia on a macro level. On the flip side local markets are a different animal governed by thier own market issues.
