Well, this popped up in our local news today:
https://www.citynews1130.com/2021/05/03/bc-suv-sales-pandemic/
Our housing market is just as crazy. People are seriously overbidding on properties, and overspending on vehicles. This can't be sustainable.
Until supply and demand come into balance ( Predicted at at least 2-3 years...) this ABSOLUTELY can continue. People that worked thru the pandemic at home and kept their salaries, and people with smart investments that have grown immensely are sitting on TONS of money.
This ain't 2008-09. Banks aren't financing to people on shoestrings any longer, and their financial position is much better.
Things may slow down, ( TO NORMAL?) but with the fed keeping interest rates at an attractive level well into the future... the demand for housing and vehicles will be there. Consumer demand is pent up and huge, and this time they have money behind them for down payments etc...
