Median home prices does not mean your home price went up in price. In some areas it slightly did, most areas still dropped further. Relatively more homes in the $400K and up have been sold and less really cheap condos/homes in rough areas ($80K- $120K). The re-sale value of the same home is currently close to equal as a year ago.

Low interest rates are over, 7% or higher now if you have excellent credit (o points, August 2007, most banks). In 2005 rates of 5.8% were possible.
The "story" above has chnaged significantly, since 2008 rates have dropped to extreme low rates like 2.99% for a 5 year loan, 3.2% for a 15 year fixed.
Summarized, we can borrow rougly 20% less for the same monthly cost, so home prices are stable or go down as absolutely nobody can afford it
Some people still pay 60% of their income in loan payments, the other group has to sell as payments went up due to their "flex loan" .
Summarized, GNP might still increase, or so called economic growth is slow but still growth. But we do not take in account that people save less, their stock is worth 20 % less (since 2005) and the house does not increase in value, so no equity just paying 3,4,5,6 grand a month interest only payments out of your pocket (renting would have been half the price).
