Interesting thoughts but I think it is a balance between interest rates and confidence. Many that have the ability to buy home are probably hesitant remembering the crisis while probably still thinking that rates are still at below average long term values.

There is no doubt that 2009 plays havoc with people's risk perceptions and is a core part of the housing problem now as rates rise. Consumer confidence is playing through in other areas of spending - watch Black Friday carefully.
