Yes I agree with you, you bought your home 30 years ago, for 3 years wages, and in the last 30 years your wage has gone up 10 times.  Surprise, Surprise your house went up too, as it should follow inflation. Now ask someone who bought their house in 1989 at the peak, better yet ask someone who bought their 4 months ago!
P.S. We sold our house a year and a half ago, for stupid money, of which we are sitting on safely in GIC'S, and when this goes turtle we are going to buy the same house back a .10 cents on the dollar.  We will be happy then, just like you bought 30 years ago.   Can't change the winds you can only change your sails!
