One factor to also consider is that in many areas housing costs dramatically escalated whereas wage increases for the same area only increased a fraction. Historically when this happens, at some point housing begins to get to far ahead and it cools for a time period. This gap between wage and housing is very pronounced in many areas of the USA, and it could lead to a stagnant market with little or no appreciation for quite a few years.

wages are starting to increase, but enough to offset the liquidity bubble, i doubt it. could be an interesting 12 month period coming up.
