Healthy markets clear
If sellers can’t sell, the price is too high. A healthy market lowers the price until things sell. What we have is a group of people who have a set price they want, but they can’t get it, so they refuse to sell. That is not a healthy market
What I’m surprised this article doesn’t mention, is the prices are too high otherwise they would be selling.
Just looking at the site for a hot second, they stand to benefit greatly from increasing housing prices, and I highly doubt home builders would want to do anything to bring prices down where their bottom line is affected.
Yeah, it’s really bizarre that they mention “affordability”…but then blame it on high interest rates instead of ridiculously high prices.
When you can buy a literal European castle, have money to move and have some leftover just for the cost of a cookie cutter house than yeah house prices are way too fucking high and people shouldn’t and won’t be paying for them
