I know you meant land when you said "house prices", but it helps to keep using the correct term to avoid misleading confusion. Houses are terrible money pits. Land (in an economically active location) is a scarce valuable resource.

This is important because people overbuild SFH not understanding the expenses, and people ruin their financial lives buying mobile or fake-mobile homes to put on rented land, not understanding that the land is where all the value is.
