A doubling over the course of a decade is not really concerning. That is the expected doubling time if prices increase 7% yoy, which is slightly under (some would argue a lot under, maybe almost half) the return on stocks. In so far as housing is a form of investment for those willing to buy and rent, then one would expect that the return is around the rate of (basically) risk free return on the stock market.
