State of the Market Megathread (9/2021)

Observations, rants, theories, speculation on future market movement, experiences, offer heartbreak, buyer fatigue, seller drama, mortgage drama, appraisal drama, anecdotes, frustration with seller listing price strategy, crystal balls, and so on, that you may not feel warrant their own threads.

Individual threads of that nature, that are repetitive (the 1000th thread consisting of “omg the market is hot!!”, for example, doesn’t warrant it’s own thread if that’s all the OP is) may be merged into here, too.
