>>Real estate always comes back from any slowdown or recession and goes on to achieve higher levels

Yep. The stock market does the same. Well, sort of. The "credit inflated" stock market runnup of 1929 reached its "pre-crash" level in the late 1950's. We will see, after it finds bottom, how long it takes this "credit inflated" housing market runnup to reach it's "pre-crash" (or "soft landing", nyuck, nyuck) levels.
It'll be fun! Things are happening so fast, it's like living in a movie!
The stock prices of the home builders are up again today.
