Home prices are probably higher now than they would be due to the limited supply due to people being locked into house.

  Aren't most people who are "locked into house" a seller that's removed from the market, but also a buyer that's removed from the market? I can see how someone who decides to keep their current house to use as a rental and buy a new owner-occupied property would tend to increase house purchase prices slightly (but also increase rental availability and lower rent prices slightly), but also think that’s a tiny minority of current homeowners.
