The cost of housing, because of the friction, has gone disproportionately high while mortgage rates have calmed down.
Just because the asset size is large doesn't mean friction needs to be high.
In fact, the fact that asset sizes high means friction should be lower because markets should clear more easily.

These assets can clear quickly.
Mortgages can sell in a day.

Renters leave.
