There have been at least two ‘bubbles’ that burst since we bought our first home in 1982. It’s called a real estate cycle, and it happens every 10 years or so.

This one is very different from those.

Home prices don’t far outpace incomes and rents in a normal cycle. That is a “bubble”, almost by definition. I would say we had two housing bubbles since 1982, and easy money caused both of them.
