millions of houses sit empty. banks feel no need to sell them at lower prices. If they lose money just get a bailout.

yeah if we had real capitalism and real competition it wouldn't happen. Meaning if they would never get bailouts they would want to lower home prices because getting a little bit of money is better than getting no money.
