A lot depends on the economic outlook of the consumer and country IMHO - with mortgage rates rising affordability isn't really improving all that much with small price declines so far - it's still way out of wack compared to the historical normal here. Add to that buyer psychology is firmly in wait and see mode given the carnage in other parts of the country, it could be pretty grim for a few years at least.
