How many years? Ask one of those little "Real Estate Investors"
AIRBNB speculators, Booking etc... Those are the ones who are buying, not the neighbors, causing price rises and destruction of society.
Do you care about the neighbors now? House what house? The ones that rent to tourists? The ones that sell to real estate speculators? The ones that remain closed for decades? The ones that build in floodplains and sell at the price of gold to foreign investors and dubious companies?
