God I hope so
When it pops most people still won’t have money (because recession) and corporations will scoop in and buy up all the assets oh boy!
I bought a house before the pandemic (just barely, and with a lot of help, but still) and even I want it to pop. It's ridiculous. Even setting aside my objections to housing as an investment, a house should not be your entire retirement plan.

Remember, it's not a bubble and it won't ever pop. Housing prices will always increase forever, just at different rates.
