Ivy Zelman, who is one of the most respected independent housing/real estate analysts there is, is on CNBC making a very bullish call on housing.
She says we're in the "very early innings" of the rally, and that gains in home prices can go up for another 4 to 6 years.
She notes that the direction of home prices doesn't change very much.
Household formation, she says, has a lot of room to improve.
CNBC's Diana Olick tweets some other key points.

This all jibes nicely with ultra-bullish housing comments earlier from Credit Suisse.
