(Also, super high interest and mortgage rates, which literally STOPS the real estate market.  High mortgage rates reduces the number of buyers who can "afford" YOUR house.  Sellers refuse to lower the selling price of their house because they have it in their minds that THEIR house is worth more, than it really is now.  So sellers won't come down, and buyers CAN'T go up.......so very FEW transactions take place.  Real Estate market STALLS.)  In the late 90's Greenspan kept warning that the stock market was OVER VALUED.....and what happened in spring of 2000?????  You got it!  One more WARNING here of the INEVITABLE in our NEAR FUTURE.  Wise men listen.
