Liquidity doesn’t make something more or less of an investment, it makes it easier to buy and sell. Liquidity in residential homes is a good thing. It means that it’s easier to sell your house and buy a new one if you need to move for whatever reason.

If we're still talking about big investors, they're buying, not selling. They're not "market makers" if they're one side only.
