They know houses "always go up" and "a good investment", which is another way of saying the same thing.

Anyone who was in the market in 2008 knows that houses don't always go up. Over the long term, it's a pretty safe bet that they do, but it's not always a smooth ride.
And there are still neighborhoods that are in decline. Opportunity to get in before they gentrify? Maybe, but it's a gamble.
