So this tiktok about companies like Zillow potentially manipulating the housing market has been making the rounds (2.2m views etc). The premise is that companies will buy up all the houses and then use their clout/resources to drive up the prices (thread) It raises two questions:
1) Is this happening now?
2) Could this happen in the future?

Right now, the answers seem to be 1) not so much, and 2) not for quite a while.
