Housing bubble of the 1870’s, the Long Depression

A real estate bubble or property bubble (or housing bubble for residential markets) is a type of economic bubble that occurs periodically in local or global real estate markets. It is characterized by rapid increases in valuations of real property such as housing until they reach unsustainable levels relative to incomes and other economic elements, followed by a reduction in price levels.

The financial crisis of 2007–2010 was related to the collapse of real estate bubbles, notably in the United States.
