Let's further say that the market value of the house (that is, the immediate liquidation price, should it be required, is $80,000.)


This doesn't actually fix anything since the banks WERE lending to the market price - its just that anyone could get a loan so there was a lot of demand hence higher prices. You must still limit leverage. Every loan is an increase in the money supply, the more loans the higher prices go.
