People who look forward to just living somewhere nice and not die financially in the process will definitely benefit from Bitcoin taking away part of the store of value premium that real state currently has.
Having said that, in my places the craze of housing cost will be gone when more houses are built. Government regulations in some areas just put so many sticks in the wheels it's impossible to get the amount of housing demanded by the market built. Hence, the price acts as the release valve.
This article is an interesting reflection on this topic: Expensive Housing is Governments fault.
I agree with this. The issue is complex and intertwined. But government regulation is preventing so much new building. Lack of building causes lack of supply. Lack of supply makes supply/demand asymmetric and shoots prices up.

Yep, that's basically how I see it. For the US at least.
