Not necessarily.  I&#x27;ve been seeing several ex-rental units which have recently been passed down as part of an estate.<p>Inheriting a house doesn&#x27;t result in a valuation event, and the seller has nothing encouraging them to sell.  So, the house sits there empty - They&#x27;re only paying $100&#x2F;month in taxes, which is coffee money.<p>The combination of no capital gains on inheritance, no estate taxes and ancient property valuations creates a multi-generational issue where houses are kept locked up.
