Depends on who is already financed. Likely this will be a lagging indicator and we’ll see further increases in institutional investment. Government at all levels will avoid being involved because citizens have grown used to the liquidity of their homes. The long term consequence to the retail market is going to be a tough pill to swallow. Builders adding to inventory are partnering with institutions already. All of this plays out in favor of expanding the SFR market share.

Buyers' cost tolerance is driven by the cost of their mortgage, which is extremely sensitive to interest rate hikes, which typically rise as a way to curb inflation.

No cheap mortgages means a lot fewer eligible buyers.
