I know I'm supposed to want it to keep going up as a wealth generator or whatever.
But like... I wouldn't be able to afford the monthly payments if I bought my house right now and it's scary. Also none of my friends are buying homes, none of them are even renting full places. Just like renting rooms.
Your home rising in value doesn't benefit you, because you still need to live in one if you sold it, and that home has likely also risen in value. Your house doesn't grow when its value does. It doesn't sprout an extra bedroom.
