You make a good point. Because we have been told that this round of inflation was more about corporate greed rather than inflation itself, but since a large majority of single family homes are owned by individuals and families, why have we seed such inflation in housing prices like we have in the retail sector. If inflation was due to corporations then wouldn't housing prices not have gone higher(especially with finance rates being higher).

Millions of people lost their homes to foreclosure during the 2008 financial crisis, as small-time homeowners suffered the costs of years of predatory mortgage lending by big banks. Many of those homes were bought up by investors — the first time so-called mega-investors had ever entered the single-family home market. Over the next decade, Wall Street interests would buy hundreds of thousands of homes, contributing to the rapid growth of single-family rentals owned by corporate landlords.
..,

The trend accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic when low interest rates and rising real estate prices spurred investors to expand their portfolios. By 2022, investors accounted for nearly 30 percent of sales of single-family homes, up from an average of 16 percent just three years earlier. In some cities, institutional investors account for a far higher share of single-family homes.
