Yes, since they are probably buying something better, the multiplier effect will work against them, but a noteworthy error? Eh. Likewise for potential multiple home-owners. Neglecting a rigorous attempt to quantify it, it doesn't seem that significant in terms of the overall imbalance. By the way, that was more of a news than an opinion piece. Although I shared the questions, I was reporting what Gartman and others asked the panelists (and their lack of satisfactory responses on the buyer point). For opinion, I think the market will be a success. Well, if they are selling to buy, rising prices wash-out to some extent.
