    Last night the upstairs neighbors actually stomped so hard they knocked one of our ceiling lights out of place. They’re our neighbors for 28 more days but I hope their future bad knees last forever.

    I think it's difficult for people to understand how a country can run up its debt and not have to worry about going bankrupt. But that's because countries aren't like people, they are actually more like the Elves from Lord of the Rings. 1/2

    For the record, I remember learning in the trade economics course I took in 2009 that economists don't know if/when deficits matter to inflation because it depends on expectations.

    The four recent grads who live upstairs have all gone home for Thanksgiving early, making me very excited for multiple days in a row of relief from the music, stomping and football cheers. All for them to leave a chirping smoke alarm. WILL THERE BE NO PEACE?!

    The iBuyer model is still very new and untested in different economic situations. A company could realize that buyer demand is slowing and decide to take a beat to assess. Doesn't mean the iBuyer model is good/bad, the future/the apocalypse. (I remain emotionally uninvested) 8/8

    But most importantly, a slowing of home price increases does not a housing market crash make. The real estate market cycles, and sometimes home prices slow in their growth or even drop a little. 7/8

    3. Buyers Hit Their Limit - the rules of supply and demand include the detail that demand will decrease when prices become too high. It's possible that in many individual markets we're seeing buyers tap the brakes because they don't want to (or can't) pay that much right now. 6/8

    2. Prices Rising at Unsustainable Rates - the last year and a half saw crazy-fast home price growth. We can naturally expect that to slow down at some point. We appear to be reaching that point (though we've also had false starts in the last year too, so who knows). 5/8

    1. Return to Seasonality - economists have been predicting that we'll see a return to the natural seasonality of real estate (fewer buyers interested in buying mid-fall thru end of year). We tend to look at recent history and think that's the norm. 2020 was not normal. 4/8

    But they're far from controlling the housing market and bringing about its doom. There are a lot of non-Zillow reasons we're seeing price drops for houses on the market right now: 3/8
