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.

The question of the hour has become: Will what has gone up ever come back down again?"
