100%. Though, interest rate based appreciation is likely at its apex, presuming zero is the floor. If we find ourselves with negative rates (after taxes and fees; there was one case of negative rates in Europe, but net inclusive of fees, it was still positive) -- then we're in truly uncharted territory.
At this juncture, it seems most appreciation will arise from supply issues, which aren't new to the post-2008 world. And while we do have lots of unoccupied housing nationally, we don't have it stock in areas where it's most needed: e.g, job centers. You can easily find a $10k home in Detroit if you wish.
The graph would be helpful it broke out metro versus rural areas, in addition to factoring interest rates.
