You. are correct. There are many who still believe the market is the same as it was during the "Covid Boom"...

They'll soon figure out it's not and reduce their prices.

And when they do, several people on this thread will go "AHA! Look at how much prices are dropping! The bottom of the market is falling out!"

When, in fact, the prices are simply adjusting to normal, and they'll most like still get a decent profit (unless the bought during the Covid Boom, and they're trying to flip the home for a huge profit . They're screwed)...
