I agree with your general line of thinking. Here are my comments, some extra points:

1) Most investors do not know if specific markets are overvalued. The market is "overvalued" within the framework of a given metric or set of metrics only, and most real estate investors do not compute those. Don't forget this is not the financial industry, where educational backgrounds are much stronger.

2) Valuation only matters at peak of cycle. Momentum drives prices before this. It may in fact be rational to invest in an overvalued market at intermediate points in the market cycle. 

3) Properties in a market being cash flow negative, which correlates with low absolute affordability, is generally not equivalent to the market being "overvalued", the latter driven by changes in affordability rather.

4) I don't think there is a "nationwide shortage". I see population/housing supply ratios below their levels of 10 years ago in ~30/50 states. There are probably ~15 states where more pronounced shortage is present, and yes such dynamic can shift prices upward, especially in small geographies/metro areas.

Hope this helps!
