Real Estate

I’ve recently learned that realtors in southwest colorado are buying houses to keep up demand. I understand that they have been told to do so by their superiors in the real estate business (perhaps NAR?). Isn’t this a conflict of interest? If they buy the houses to keep demand high doesn’t that violate their fiduciary duty to other buyers? Isn’t this the same as a stock broker buying stock in a company just to keep the price up until he (or she) suckers other people to buy the stock? Is this happening in your area? What do you think of this?
