Exactly, we aren’t facing a financial crisis and collapse, the market has not kept up with the demand for homes. People don’t have the short sell option they used last time. The fact is Inventory just can’t keep up with buyers because of the pandemic’s effects. Perhaps when the Fed raises the interest rates next year, prices may level off at their new highs?
