House prices are unlikely to crash ever because there's hundreds of billions in private capital waiting to buy up any cheap housing stock as long term rental properties. As soon as there's any dip the demand goes up which pushes prices back up.

The value of US residential real estate is $47,000 billion. $100B in private investment is a drop in the bucket. And investors aren’t stupid. They want high returns and if they think real estate is going down, they’ll drop it like a hot potato. What amazes me is the 2008 real estate crash is only 15 years ago. After the crash real estate was radioactive, nobody was interested in buying. Then a decade later it’s all forgotten and people think “real estate will never go down”. Apparently it takes about a decade for people to forget everything they learned in 2008.
