Of course they should, and they would. It's really econ 101. More demand = higher prices. Why wouldn't it?

If you were selling apples for $1/kg, and you have it sold daily very rapidly, wouldn't you try to make $1.1/kg? $1.2/kg? $2/kg? Until you can't sell everything you produce, or, more precisely, until you can't make more profit.

Only when supply is constrained.

If a grocer tried to double their prices then their competitors would out compete them.

Property in SV might be a different matter although I’m guessing this is going to be cost neutral for most people there or even negative.
