Yes, in a way it would. But it would produce some spectacular losses to a lot of people as well - including lots of people who worked really hard to buy because it seemed that prices would get further out of reach if they didn't. Which is why a slower release (by steady erosion of the gap through wage growth) would be preferable, no?

So in a way house prices crashing back to 2009/2010 levels would be a good thing as it would put things more closely in reach of a public whose wages are shrinking, year on year.
