It goes much further back than Bush Junior inane push for the “Ownership Societyâ€.
You are right about that. Back in 1992 Clinton advocated the position that "every American should own a home" and said that goal could be achieved by the year "2000." Bush had the EXACT same position. What bothers me about this mess is that Democrats attempt to put all the blame on Bush, etc. when in fact they are every bit as guilty. Which draws me to the conclusion that they are just partisan party hacks that always attempt to blame the other side, in this case GOPers. I have the same distain for GOPers that try to put all the blame on the Democrats while ignoring that their own party is culpable as well.

Mortgage Applications Plummet To 13-Year Low As Tax Cuts Expire
“Purchase applications plummeted 27 percent last week and have declined almost 20 percent over the past month, despite relatively low interest rates. The data continue to suggest that the tax credit pulled sales into April at the expense of the remainder of the spring buying season. In fact, this drop occurred even as rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages continued to fall, and at 4.83 percent are at their lowest level since November 2009,†said Michael Fratantoni, MBA’s Vice President of Research and Economics. “However, refinance borrowers did react to these lower rates, with refi applications up almost 15 percent, hitting their highest level in nine weeks.
... The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages decreased to 4.83 percent from 4.96 percent, with points increasing to 1.08 from 0.91 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent loan-to-value (LTV) ratio loans.
