Bubbles are unpredictable by their nature, as soon as 'enough' people think it will pop, and act accordingly, then it pops, but you can't predict that ahead of time.

But my guess is: it'll start with the public failing of some high profile tech companies. That starts a run, some tech bros have to sell up or whatever, and it spreads from there.

But a pop isn't going to necessarily mean its a buyers market, far from it. The nature of econonic crises is that everyone is affected. In other words, don't think you'll get a home on the cheap, because you'll be finding yourself in money trouble as well. Millenials are, more than likely, never ever ever ever reaching the same level of home ownership as boomers. They and the next generation are going to be in poo poo, their entire life.

you are repeating what happened in 2000, and 2008- is this an intentional observation?

if there isn't a full on bubble with the housing market yet, there will be soon-ish. tromp / his administration decided not to renew the federal HAMP program that gave assorted protections to low-income homeowners and first-time home buyers, and they're working their asses off to repeal Dodd-Frank too. if fewer people are able to participate in home buying again, it'll either crash things when:

a. there's too much back-stock on existing homes and prices drop accordingly when it becomes a buyer's market, thereby catastrophically lowering the value of the average home well below the outstanding mortgage balance

b. or it'll crash when the banks realize a. is looming on the horizon, so they start offering mortgages to anyone that can fog a mirror, and the market gets flooded with bullshit loans that inflate the prices of the existing homes, and we'll literally get to watch 2007-08 happen again in real-time

i'm gonna go with b for 500, because lol if we think the business class has to learn from or pay for it's mistakes, just lol
