>cool the market

Do you mean warm it up? It's currently frozen. Lower interest rates are the surest way to fairly warm the market up. Cutting capital gains tax makes the rich richer and the poor poorer. Warming the market won't increase supply though.




Cool it down, as in, lower real estate prices.


Market hotness is measured in days that a house is on the market, not dollars it sells for.

That’ll will unfreeze the market but also resume the insane price spiral.

Try building. And not a little bit either. Think Post-WWII.
