So then reduce the prices.
You can't call it a collapse, complain about all the supply you have, refuse to reduce prices, and rally to the praises of free-market capitalism. The market has spoken. You have overvalued your property. Now give us houses and take your loss.
You only reduce the price if you need to sell the thing. Real estate does not expire.
It doesn't expire but clearly the vacant homes/units need to be taxed harder so sellers can't just sit on them forever.
Then they would just occupy it with renters while it's on the market. It doesn't change the fact that they don't need to sell, they'd just like to.
Housing markets only collapse when people need to sell. People lost their jobs and are in foreclosure. If thats happening then we're all in a much worse way.
Flooding the market with rentals still lowers rental prices?
Also if there's more housing than renters, some will have to start selling to avoid the taxes.
"Market collapse". If only.
And the prices are falling right?
Come onnnn lemme see this bubble burst in my lifetime pleaaase
In their graphics things peak at June/July, so realistically this feels like a metric that should be shown seasonally adjusted.
I wouldn't say this is a market collapse until we see that in pricing.
The graph of news headlines about the real estate market is the same graph lol. They recycle the same narrative every year.
Realtor news is a lot like “this is good for bitcoin”
nice
