From your article:

“Demand is pulling back—fast—in the face of mortgage rates that have spiked dramatically.”

So the Fed’s policy is working. The idea of raising interest rates is to dampen demand, in order to fight inflation. No where is demand-driven inflation more evident than in the housing market.

What is your point?

Hey, stock market "crashes" to the extent it only hurts the billionaires and multi-millionaires that aren't investing but gambling? Maybe.
When there’s a bubble, the sooner it pops the better. We don’t need a crash, but we definitely needed a correction in the stock market and the housing market.

Where I live, house prices are down 80%. People are desperate and some have even set fire to their homes. And it’s all because of Joe Biden.

It’s all true. For real.
