Thoughts on home values - Will they ever drop back to the values 5-10 years ago?

I feel like they have been sustainable for so long that there will not be a huge drop off unless we hit another recession like 2008. Thoughts?
Maybe it's just certain areas in Alabama, but it seems like EVERYONE's home has increased in value by 20%. Despite this increase, buyers are still purchasing homes like crazy.

My home value has dropped over the last 4 1/2 years. Only about 4.5%, but still. And that's legitimate as we are casually trying to sell.

My home value in California, over the past 2 years increased, 10% leading to a 60K profit when sold.
Midway between San Fran and Sacramento. Raising interest rates had us concerned it would be a difficult sell. Very happy to get out now though as I feel like it will be dropping again soon.

Wages go up and material prices go up yearly. Good luck if you are waiting for a dip in the market. People would just build and flip houses if there were a huge price discrepancy.

Interest rates in the 1980s were in the teens. Interest rates will dictate home prices. If interest rates would go to say 7% just figure how that changes what you can buy.

Aren't you in the Woodlands area? 4.5 years ago you were in a mini-bubble up there with the opening of Exxon campus.

Prices in New Orleans rose last year, up nearly 9%. Homes in New Orleans sold for an average of $354,962.

The next recession will grind the housing market to a halt. Value will fall, it is all cyclical.
Whether we see a drop down to 2009 levels I don't think so, not across the board. But there will be a dip.

As another poster said, when interest rates rise then housing market will soften. It’s just a fact of supply and demand and we have lived in low interest rate environments for a decade now.
