Unfortunately micro factors doesn't work here. By it's very definition micro is on the micro level :)
"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"
It captures supply-demand factors and there are several YT videos and articles, if you google, on microeconomic factors affecting res. house prices. [edit: I googled a bit more just to be sure that micro does cover the housing sector--https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-46531-4_1]
I would actually point out to your post that macro factors outside US are unlikely to play a significant role. [ edit: forex market may have some role to play]
Macro factors would be recession, stagflation..., changing demographics, interest rate, technological improvements...
What are all the factors that could influence residential home prices across the United States over the next decade? And how? Organize your output in a MECE framework.
