What makes housing prices rise is scarcity, and there is no scarcity of housing in metro Detroit. What makes housing prices fall is a surplus of housing, and that does indeed exist. There is really nothing surprising going on here.
Maybe in a normally functioning market, but "scarcity" was not driving the housing boom, nor is over supply totally responsible for the bust.
