Could the real estate market go into shock?

So this may seem crazy, but hear me out. Several of my sellers have expressed concerns about their ability to find a new home to buy - they literally told me they will hold off selling until they see more inventory in the market. While I have hopes that we will see more listings in spring, I am have been seeing new listings decline week over week here in Milwaukee - that's the wrong direction!

Interest rates have started to rise, so that may take a little heat out of the market, but it also has increased my buyer's willingness to be even more agressive, because they know rates will rise if they can't get an AO now.

I start wondering, is it possible that the RE market will go into a shock, where people are not selling, because there is nothing to buy - and this is becomming a self-tightening knod? We have never seen anything like this, but does that not mean it could not happen? I am collecting thoughts for my next YouTube video and would like to hear your opinions. The big influencers on social are still talking about forbearance and foclosures - if I do some napkin math and divide it by 50 States, that additional inventory (most will sell, not forclose) will not amount to enough to fill the market.

How will we get out of the inventory shortage? Where is this going?
