It generally doesn't and pops

We're overdue for a correction

The number of people thinking real estate investing is a great idea always baffled me, because it doesn't follow economic sense. All it did was make homes overpriced because so many people thought real estate would make them rich.

It'll drop. The big corps will buy it up. I don't know who else could afford it after that though. It might not drop far after the big guys buy it, since then they won't sell and will just charge rent forever. This is assuming a regional monopoly. I don't know the distribution pattern for real estate though
