Interest rates tripled in the past few years, and home prices continued their upward march throughout most of the U.S. Do you mean something else by "cheap credit"?

Tripled from a hundred year low. Kinda normal to mildly low still.

Prices are up since people did 30yr mortgages at obscenely low rates, and don’t sell/move in order to keep them. That group will eventually rotate out. Ironically, somewhat lower rates will cause a housing price decline.
