      The immediate divestitures will tank home values, which will suck for boomers hoping their home will be their retirement account, but it will be a boon for new homebuyers everywhere. Rents will come down to earth, home values will realign with reality, and interest rates can do whatever they need to do to correct the decades of absurdly cheap money.
