Houses/improvements to land do not appreciate but land value does. This is due to the fact that the improvements can be increased indefinitely while the supply of land is relatively fixed. When "housing" prices fall it is speculative land prices that fall. Modern economists refuse to treat land separately from capital. Why is that?

But one clarification: Piet Eichholtz, a professor of real-estate finance at Maastricht University in the Netherlands, studied 450 years of price history on the Herengracht, or Gentlemen's Canal. For my own forecast of prices in the UK, search "UK Property" on YouTube. You will see that Builder share prices are a good leading indicator. Good presentation.

There are many areas outside of these depressed markets which are pretty stable because they did not participate in the bubble. Most Bubbleville residents' world tends to revolve around themselves.

Listingsupply com indicates that MLS listings in the major US markets are finally starting to fall, which should mean price stability ahead. Let's hope!
