There are several things that cause asset price inflation. Housing is just
one area where we are closest to the action but it is just one area. Some
consider that the current oil price increases are just another asset price
inflation and it will deflate soon.

Asset price inflate is almost predictable. First comes the mania, everyone
needs in on the asset before the prices increase. Some sort of shock comes
along to cause a pause then comes the panic when holders of the asset realize
that the income from the asset cannot pay the interest. Then comes the panic
as everyone tries to get out from under the asset with whatever they can get.
Put tulips, houses, stocks, etc in as the assets and you can see the trends.
