I think there’s a difference between a company with enormous amounts of capital buying a bunch of houses to flip, intentionally trying to drive a trend of increasing home prices to profit, and a single homeowner improving a single house and profiting primarily because of the improvements and not because he’s driving the market up massively..



>intentionally trying to drive a trend of increasing home prices to profit

was that their goal? it's possible to be a market maker without cornering/manipulating the market. see: market makers on stock markets.
