I would start with Macro vs Micro factors

"Microeconomics is a branch of mainstream economics that studies the behavior of individuals and firms in making decisions regarding the allocation of scarce resources and the interactions among these individuals and firms" The term might be misleading but it captures supply-demand factors and there are several YT videos and articles, if you google, on microeconomic factors affecting res. house prices. I would actually point out to your post that macro factors outside US are unlikely to play a significant role.
Macro factors would be recession, stagflation..., changing demographics, interest rate, technological improvements...
