Check.īut we still don't have the third element: a bursting bubble. That's according to separate studies conducted by researchers at CoreLogic, Moody's Analytics, and Florida Atlantic University. The second element is "overvaluation." A housing bubble sees home prices go far beyond what incomes historically would support. In the industry, those homes are known as spec homes-meaning speculative homes-and there's currently a record number of them under construction.

Not only did home flippers return, but investors also saw their share of single-family home purchases rise to a record level. That's something we saw a lot over the past two years.

By 2007, Shiller predicted its bust was inevitable. Robert Shiller released a book in 2000 titled Irrational Exuberance, which proclaimed the stock market was a bubble.
