That’s the value of the entire stock. But that’s not the inventory that is being traded at any point of time. The vast majority of housing in the US sits in a single family without switching hands for probably decades. So the actual market is probably 20-30 times smaller, and so a single major player is far more capable of having an influence on pricing. Besides, housing is not a national market. A buyer does not usually decide that they want to own a house and then scour the entire country to find houses they could live in. They usually decide a place they want to live in, and then look at a much smaller market within that area. So even if a single entity cannot impact the national market, they could definitely impact local markets. |
