Why would they? I mean, mortgage rates are still very low and people are going to be looking to buy before the fall when kids go back to school.

I’m perpetually online house hunting and have noticed somewhat fewer sales but people are still listing homes in our area (within my search parameters)

Busier than ever. re-fi's are through the roof too. My wife underwrites about 25 loans per month and she is already at 40 this month.

The PT treating my husband had a contract on his house and an agreement on a home to purchase. He and his wife got cold feet with the unknown — two people in their clinic were let go/furlowed (not sure which) so the canceled both agreements.

They’ve slowed some. Title companies have made adjustments by only allowing buyers/sellers into the office. It’s an adjustment

There’s some issues with recording. And inspections of course.

While Having no knowledge of the real estate industry, I still reject the premise of your question that the only 2 options for the real estate market are the 2 you presented.

My neighbors bought some property and are in the process of having this huge house built so their kids can go to a better school. I bet they’re regretting that decision right about now.

That was not a premise of the question. I asked whether anyone knows if "A" or "B" is occurring. That does not exclude the possibility of "C", "D", etc.

I talked with someone whose wife is a realtor. He said the housing market is booming right now.

Re-fis are not an indication that retail sales are busier than ever. Them being busier than ever suggests that people are planning to stay in their homes for at least six more years, not sell them.
