While this further inflated the bubble, once the bubble burst, the process went sharply into reverse and has been deepening the downturn.
Households are now injecting about 10 per cent of their combined disposable income into their homes

Am I missing something or is that a completely misleading headline. The headline refers to 10% of home equity while the article refers to 10% of disposable income. Presuming the latter was what they meant then presumably the headline is wrong (unless they are suggesting that disposable income=housing equity, which is highly unlikely).
