I don't want my house to appreciate much because I am planning to buy a bigger house when I start a family. If all houses appreciate in value, I'd have to pay more to upgrade a house. For example, if my house costs $500K and I want to buy a house that costs $1 mil, the difference is $500K. If houses appreciate 20%, my house would cost $600K and the other house would cost $1.2 mil, which means I'd have to pay $600K difference to upgrade the house. That's why I am hoping that house prices continue to plummet.
