Yes well there is always the option of shorting bonds if you think interest rates are going to rise. You can do this using cfds. Best to use a dynamic systematic approach though

Futures and options on real estate haven't started active trading yet, so it will be a while before you're actually able to use them to hedge your individual bubble risk. (I have to admit, I kind of like the idea of separating the two transactions "pay for a house to live in" and "speculate on real estate price trends".)
