Post-Election Iranian Politics

A nice piece from the US Institute of Peace.

More interesting then the results and names of future political figures was this line:

"
A housing bubble in Tehran has led to soaring apartment costs, in part because Iranians do not feel confident to invest in anything aside from real estate."

Are sanctions pushing investment into 'safer' purely Iranian sectors? Even the energy industry is not safe. How many of these sectors have seen a boost since the sanctions have gone into effect, are they all causing problems?
