If the comment above regarding a fertility rate of 1.09 is correct, then yes, you can run out of buyers, and are well on the way to doing so.

mmm you would need a fertility rate of like 20x something like 20 yrs ago to keep up.

you can saturate a market with houses way faster than pop out kids even at a modest growth 2.5x birth rate.

a bunch of middle class families had 3 or even 5 properties all with mortgages and so many of them weren't even built yet. who needs sustainability.

And like, zero immigration. A net emigrant country.
