But deflation wouldn't necessarily be a terribly bad thing if it happens slowly.

Ask the Japanese how well that went.

For the housing market, MASSIVE deflation would be a great thing.

Right. If we go by median housing prices, we are still about halfway to making it back to where we should be. I couldn't believe how expensive housing had become until I saw the charts.

Keep in mind that a good deal of the problem was also lack of income growth in the lower 90-95% of the population.  Inflating these incomes would be another effective way to 'regain a balance' that would be much less damaging than the heavy deflation caused by the housing decline.

Well, something's gotta give.
