That was a response to your statement that 'people have the money'. The larger point is that just because people are buying houses doesn't mean that things are healthy, case in point: 2007/2008 housing crash, which was preceded by a housing bubble and led to a lot of misery.
- nemo44x 5y agoI don't think it was really a bubble if you look back on it. Yes, some people were exposed (flippers and people that borrowed WAY too much) but anyone that was just buying a property to live in was fine, mainly. If you look at prices from then VS now, they have more than doubled for example. So was it a bubble? Anyone who bought a house at the top then and is still in it is doing just fine.
