Well, its the first quarter of 2011 and the expectations of deflation have pretty much gone away, while the outlook for inflation seems much more likely. To assume a country can slide into a high rate of inflation, while real estate prices stay down, seems, to me, unrealistic.

This article was written in March 2009, with reference to a long-term forecast made in 2005. We are now in July 2010 and I have recently written an article, "Economic Recovery May Wait Until 2016".

Each day that passes, it seems less and less likely that housing prices will recover in the short-run. This also demonstrates that long-term economic forecasts are not necessarily much better than short-term forecasts.

Although I still believe that, in the end, inflation will win out, when this will happen is hard to say.
