If development continues to follow the status quo, by the time the situation you describes takes place the fringes of the city where these detached single family homes would be built would be the same places you currently designate as being outside of the city. Also, it is going to take a fair bit of time before the supply of detached-SFH will be outpaced by demand. However, the demand for detached-SFH will not necessarily continue to be the same but could realistically decline.
