House is both a shelter and an investment. Without being an investment, durable houses wouldn't be built or maintained.
Believe it or not, some people maintain their home so it's a safe and enjoyable place to live. Some of the most durable homes I have ever been in were built by the owners with no intention of selling it or renting it. Durable, aesthetic and well-made homes decreased when prices began to rise. I think bulls and bears would agree on that.

Comment/post from Michael S.: "If you increase "affordability" you will increase demand. When demand increases then prices rise. When prices rise, affordability falls.
Government backed loans don't help homebuyers, they line the pockets of bankers and the real estate industry. Rising prices help increase tax revenue too, so the industy lobbyists get what they want.
