Those born in 1980's and 90's have not experienced economic recession as a adult, only know low interest rate and easy credit, bought under peers pressure; not at all surprised, many of foreclosure belongs to this group.
Also because they got conned back in 2013-2015 during the peak of the bull run by those property gurus seminars asking them to BBB UUU on luxury condos. I know many friends who even join names to get those luxury condos hoping to profit by the time the development is completed due to being influenced by those gurus and end up now all also dying to pay the installments since can’t sell at the price they want and can’t get high enough rental rates.

So in conclusion, can we safely say that there was a bubble and some of them are bursting now?
Depends on your definition of burst, for some ppl, prices don’t drop to below pre 2009 prices then not considered as burst.

In 2007 u.s subprime crisis, home price took 6 years to bottom. Believe this is only the beginning of kv property price decline.
Doubt will be that long, still sticking to my prediction that downtrend until 2020-2021 then slow reversal
