If interest rates go up, the prices will come down. If they don't, they'll stay pretty much the same for entry level housing. The mid to upper level housing has taken the biggest hits so far, it might be a while before they go back up.
I disagree with that notion. People have been buying shit they can't begin to afford for three years at least. The average house is what...? 350k -400k for something you would live in maybe? I would guess you need the down plus 80 - 110k to live there. Whats the average income 60k? hmmm.
