I think it'll get better to buy as some of the manic, easy-money business decision stuff recedes. Granted, the traders use the metric of comparing volume to historical norms as insight into whether current prices are more momentary or long term. i.e. Increased trading volume suggests valuations actually are adjusting to the new level. But that's for stocks and much more liquid assets than real estate. Another odd-ball thing nagging at me is just population age characteristics, but this is truly long term. The boomer generation really was larger than all of its following generations by large measure. I wonder whether this could make longer term US characteristics look like Japan the last several decades for this reason.
