The Bubble Meter Philosophy
The best way to get the housing market thriving again is to drop prices to the point where supply equals demand. Home sellers might not like it, but it's good for buyers and it's great for Realtors.
For Realtors, the best way to make more money is to sell houses quickly, and the best way to sell houses quickly is to convince the seller to drop the price.

Okay... so I see three things with this graph. One... the interest rates were waaay low in 1975 (was that pre-Carter). Two... rates shot waaay up during the recession in the early '80s (must have been caused by the recession) Three the graph shows that we are no longer in a recession... oh yeah... lol that's because it only lasted 18 months. haha
