Yeah, North America appears to be the 'small pockets' in question.

The value evaporating isnt as much of a problem as the leveraged debt a lot of people have taken on. I can tell you right now that every one of my neighbors refinanced or took out a HELOC and used the proceeds to buy new cars, boats and RV's.

Good luck to them!

Homes here more than doubled in price in 4 years. A fair bit of the bloom is off that rose right now...
