I think it’s the combination


of the wealth effect from the stock market gains as a result of govt / fed action, along with ridiculously low interest rates. You can borrow $500k for 30 years with a monthly payment (not counting taxes and insurance) of ~$2k per month. Add T&I and you’re at ~$2.5k which means a household with $100k of income can afford an half million mortgage.
