Why do you say that?

There seems to be this idea among younger individuals online that because prices jumped so quickly that a correction is inevitable, and it’s just not. There’s a ton of demand still out there, and the second any sort of meaningful dip is perceived all those buyers will be right there.

Prices went up because a shit ton of money was printed with sub-3% rates. Why would any sane person with a 3% mortgage ever sell, especially when inflation is 9%? It’s quite literally free money.
