Scenarios about 'housing bubble'
The rapid, unsustainable inflation of housing prices followed by a significant market correction or crash. Housing bubbles typically form when speculation, easy credit, and irrational exuberance drive property values far beyond their fundamental worth, as notably occurred in the United States during the early 2000s leading to the 2008 financial crisis. In alternate history scenarios, different regulatory approaches or economic policies might prevent, exacerbate, or redirect such market distortions with far-reaching consequences for global economies.
