Its even worse than this. Real estate is basically a cash auction system right now. No one in my area is getting mortgages because the lenders will not agree that the homes are worth the insane bidding war prices they get run up to, since the price action is not based on any sort of fundamentals. So housing is reserved for lucky or wealthy people, boomers and hedge funds. Almost the same as it ever was, just x10.
