Real estate markets just got a major upgrade. Polymarket, built on UMA protocol, now offers prediction markets for housing prices—and it changes everything about how people trade real estate exposure.

Forget traditional barriers. No mortgage applications. No realtor commissions. No waiting periods. You can now take positions on housing markets with a single click—go long if you're bullish, short if you think we're in a bubble.

Think the market's overheated? Short it instantly. Believe prices are heading higher? Long the position. This is what decentralized derivatives look like: direct market access, no intermediaries, pure price discovery powered by user predictions.

Housing price prediction market? Oh wait, can this really help retail investors create short positions on real estate? That's a bit crazy.

Wow, I can finally short the housing prices directly. This is way better than waiting for mortgage approval.

actually... prediction markets aren't exactly "price discovery" if you've got concentrated liquidity and weak oracle assumptions. have you thought about what happens when your UMA dispute resolution breaks down? ngl the "no intermediaries" framing is doing a lot of heavy lifting here—you're just replacing one set of trust assumptions with another. still kind of bullish tho ngl
