If they are renting the house out, that means it isn’t being removed from the housing supply. Why would this distort the market?

- raziel2701 5y agoIf a house is being rented it means I can't buy it, supply is low. That's what I understood housing supply meant when talking about house prices. Renting is not a factor, it's another market.
- cortesoft 5y agoRenting is not an entirely separate market... renting is an alternative to buying, and their markets are linked. "Housing" is the market, and renting and buying are two options for people in the market.
