The Shock of Sweden's Housing Market Is Hitting the Country's Currency

I think the core contention here is that, at the end of the day, you are better off because of rising housing prices. You're complaining about transnational prices on your massive amount of equity while brushing aside the fact that you have such a massive amount of equity because of the real estate market.

I don't deny that. But right now I'm worse off relative to my goals at the moment than I would be if house prices were more stable. I'm not saying that rising prices are not good for some home owners, only that they are not good for all home owners in all circumstances.

So you want prices to rise while you're comfortable building equity, and then level off when you've decided you have enough money? Your viewpoint is incredibly confusing to me.

Do you really feel like you'd be better off if your house sold for exactly what you bought it for?
