It's not just rich people buying homes for themselves, it's investors that purchase housing for use as short term rentals.
This drastically sways the "real" market value of homes since those short term rental properties will just sit gathering dust and netting their owners depreciation breaks while they get to leverage that asset/debt in the market.
That's why they're so insistent that housing prices have to go up, because even a minor dip absolutely wrecks the billions of dollars in leveraged debt that's propping the whole system up.
