Yes, but you then went on to say:
if you're investing for cash, you have to know what you are doing. otherwise you might be lucky, you might not.

Which is the direct opposite of what TMB said.

so, what will you do with any profit on your house?
i'm assuming you won't keep it, based on how wrong that would be?

You're missing the whole point here by focusing on individuals.
The problem is not that house prices rise a bit over time in line with inflation, it's that house prices are at the stage where they are unaffordable.

If all house prices fell, then I can still sell my house and buy another one somewhere else with no real difference (assuming i'm not in negative equity).
