This projection assumes that the 2000’s Real Estate bubble will deflate in approximately the same manner as the 80/90’s housing bubble. The difference in magnitude of the % growth form trough to peak was calculated as 1.25X and the difference in the length of the growth phase of the 2 bubbles was 1.7X. That is the 80’s/90’s bubble inflated 116% trough to peak and the 2000’s bubble inflated 145% trough to peak. The 80’s/90’s bubble saw a 27% decline from its peak to its bottom over a period of 9 years. The % decline was scaled by 1.25X and the period fo decline was scaled by 1.7X in order to generate the scenario for the 2000’s Real Estate bubble collapse. The scaling used generates a peak to bottom decline of approximately 35% for the 2000’s bubble with a period of decline lasting 15 years For HPI/ Income calculations it was assumed that income would be essentially flat for the period covered.
