What would a housing correction look like? Demand still outstrip supply in hot markets, so the worst thing that'll happen is that the housing prices will have a slight dip, and that's it. Also, with the Fed lowering interest rates to zero and possibly lower, that'll continue to inflate the value of assets such as houses.

If it gets bad enough (and I don't want to seem insensitive here) a bunch of elderly people die and their houses are on the market.

The same was true up until the 2008 crash. If it happens, it will be a cliff, not a gently sloping down fall.
