Housing & Real Estate Bubble... or Not?

What is a bubble?  Basically, a bubble exists when a commodity's price increases beyond its fundamental value, a markup people will pay because they believe someone else will pay even more for it in the future.  Nobody can predict the future market prices but looking at history we can make better educated guesses.
