Supply and demand sets prices.

The gobbledygook you posted, “ properties get leveraged, instrumentalized, and securitized, with derivative products, speculation, and all sorts of incentives that you don't normally want operating in the arena of housing”, is just that, gobbledygook.

Just because a buyer as Inc. behind its name doesn’t give it magical powers to set market prices.

If you think it does, then please explain it to us like we are really slow.
