Until everyone who bought during the bubble tries to get out at the same time. This is what we're on the cusp of now -- house sales are finally starting to fall.

Inflation is not low, but the Fed must continually repeat that it is else the public would realize their savings and wages are being inflated away to pay off mountains of bad debt.
The fed's monetary policy is taxation without representation.
Inflation is only low if you trust how the Federal Reserve is calculating it. Personally, I think the weightings they assign to various categories are intentionally incorrect.
Anyone who lived through 2008 knows better than to think inflation was sub-2% -- yet many savings accounts have been paying 0.01% interest for over a decade.
