Note that last time the rise in prices was quicker (steeper curve), and it only took about a year – 2006 – to reverse course.
This time, the increase looks more reasonable (more-gradual slope), but it still has to look daunting to buyers.

Fantastic chart Jim, thx for creating & sharing. Another factor is time; we’re a decade out from the ’07 meltdown. I wonder what a 4th line on your chart would look like, starting from ’89 forward, moving at the historical RE rate of return.
