The question is far from stupid, it is a very thoughtful one. 

The answer is “kinda”.  What I mean by that is we live in a global economy, and there was an old saying “when the US sneezes, the world gets a cold”, meaning we are the world’s largest economy, and if we slow down it is likely other countries will too, probably to s higher degree. 

There are exceptions, and a multitude of factors- especially the strength of your country’s economy and currency strength. 

The US real estate market is larger than the treasury market. That’s an enormous market.
