such assets, as the downturn in some markets (Las Vegas, others) caused a big drop in home prices. Also, the flood of AIRBNBs is suppressing the markets too (too many AIRBNBs).

I suspect that this trend is going to continue, as companies re-evaluate their portfolios and reduce their footprint in the single family housing markets. Maybe they don't need to do anything, but continue to watch trends, but still keep an eye on things, to make sure that these markets don't get out of reach for the ordinary homebuyer.
