The white-hot housing market in the Bay Area, has some wondering if a real estate crash is possible.
"Many people either just can't afford to buy or are not prepared for the psychological wear-and-tear of what's become the hottest Bay Area real estate market in memory. A white-hot demand for a limited amount of housing, according to real estate analysts, experts and economists, is the chief driver behind the Bay Area housing market's longest upswing in history.Housing value has been riding a wave that by most accounts, has yet to reach its pinnacle. Almost every month this year, trade groups and other researchers have reported double-digit percentage spikes in median-priced houses, much to the chagrin of those looking to jump into the area's supercharged market. The question of the hour has become: Will what has gone up ever come back down again?"
