Count me out of the endless debate. I own cash flow positive places and don't care if prices drop unless they drop low enough to make another rental property look good. Then I'll buy if rates are high.

If others want to engage in this discussion, go to it. May the best guesser get... oh wait, nothing except living with your personal choices.
