"Some markets become obsolete when you remove capitalism" is not the same as "markets are only a thing under capitalism".

The real estate market would probably look much different and may even dissolve entirely if you forbid private ownership of real estate capital. I don't think this is a groundbreaking insight, I'm just clarifying for those who are careless about their use of words.

Yes but there's also people who think capitalism = things they don't like and don't bother to think about what the alternative truly looks like.

Straw men are not coming for your privately-owned home any time soon, friend.
