b) RE Price vs RENTS

Rent is determined by current supply and demand, while home prices are in part determined by investment potetential, or future supply and demand. Home prices may be quicker to adjust to shifts in rational expectations while rents only adjust when these expectations are realized. The spread simply reflects preferences and constraints under equilibrium conditions and cannot be used to determine value, except under equilibrium.
