Simple supply and demand is a one-time game model. Property is a repeated, long term subgame component of the much larger repeated long term game that is the financial system. Dynamics are completely different.

One example, it makes more sense to give someone 3-6 months free at price $X than to get them in at .5 or .75 $X.

To add to this, player dynamics are quite different between big corporate landlords and small landlords.
