    Same reason I hate it when the housing market is described at “strong” in Australia? In what way? Is the market providing housing for all who need it? No?

    Then it’s weak and I’ll have none of this “strong” housing market bullshit.

      The housing market being strong means homes are selling. Homes selling means prices rising.

          It’s not a euphemism, you’re just not the person benefiting from the strong market because you are not currently a homeowner.
