: "so, 2006/2007 was the largest house price bubble ever, but there is nothing to see here in 2017?" and sarcastically points out that "if this isn't a house price bubble, I would hate to see one."

His bottom line:

If 2006/07 was the peak of the largest housing bubble in history with affordability never better vis a' vis exotic loans; easy availability of credit; unemployment in the 4%'s; the total workforce at record highs; and growing wages, then what do you call "now" with house prices at or above 2006 levels; worse affordability; tighter credit; higher unemployment; a weakening total workforce; and shrinking wages? Whatever you call it, it's a greater thing than the Bubble 1.0 peak.
