Yeah, that's not how it works...In the housing industry.
They aren't selling houses... they are selling the dream of sucking you for 30 years on a mortgage.

What you wrote has nothing to do with economics. If supply increases, prices will decrease. Homes are not an inelastic commodity.

Like others have said, they've being putting out these "3d printed homes" things for years and years. We've had pre fabricated materials and whole pre-fab homes. Many pre-fab homes are amazing and better than what I live in now.
Prices have not been coming down.
There are thousands of abandoned / empty houses.
When it comes to the price of homes / housing, the problems are not supply, it's financing; and in places where there is bountiful supply of housing, crime, and employment often deter people.
The op Article was about housing, and not about "basic economics"
