adjl 10/11/23 4:32:46 PM #14:	Yellow posted... Is it because people are scalping them, or is it because we just don't have enough houses? It's a bit of both. Populations have grown, and in particular more people are moving to cities, but in most cases they haven't grown by that much and the number of potential homes has increased by enough that everyone could be housed. A very sizable number of potential homes are tied up as investments, though, often sitting empty while people gamble with the land or being turned into short-term rentals that throw off cities' efforts to plan zoning and development plans. That cuts down supply, while demand remains the same or grows, and that drives values up. In turn, that makes them even more attractive as investments, which means even more gets taken out of the housing market by investors (who, after a certain point, are the only ones that can even afford to buy properties because they're leeching off of everyone else), driving prices up further, and so on. Yellow posted... Why are people allowed to just buy and sell houses like pokemon cards? Because most of the people in a position to regulate the housing market have significant real estate investments of their own and therefore have a vested interest in not solving what's proving to be a very lucrative problem for them. --- This is my signature.
