A high tax on the capital gains at sale could also work well here.

I'm also curious whether decoupling housing from investing could be useful in stabilizing prices.

One problem with high tax based on capital gains at sale is that it needs the sale to happen and you start running into issues where people never sell and houses will get inherited. This still doesn’t tackle the problem head on.
