Real estate rarely goes down, outside of a total bubble deflation.

Detroit, Baltimore, Camden would like a word with you and your theory that housing never goes down.




> rarely

> outside of a total bubble deflation.

Detroit is rare, and Detroit's bubble popped hard at the same time as real-estate in general.


My city Pittsburgh would also like to have a word with you. It's doing well now after a 40 year downturn. Long enough to ruin many peoples lives permanently where they couldn't outlast the cycle.

There are A LOT of places in the US where real estate has not been a panacea of wealth accumulation.
