“The numbers are so horrible, I mean, the companies, they jacked prices up, and there was a tremendous drive to get them. And now we’re starting to realize, they have really overpriced their houses. While I care about the interest rate, it’s not as important as the collapse in pricing. This is the time to buy a home, who else has rolled back to 2018 prices other than Doug McMillon.”
