The problem is that most economists that have done a lot of work in real estate are either employed by one of the real estate boards/associations or one of the major banks - all of which have a vested interest to ensure the market stays buoyant.
I'm currently studying Urban Land Economics at UBC as we speak, and I'm finding it extremely difficult to find credible sources of information for research that are completely unbiased.
