Correct!


You can't buy a house low without selling your current house high first!

The typical response is to hold onto high prices but investing being counter intuitive, you have to sell high prices in order to afford low prices later. . . of course there is effort to do so, some inconvenience, and the people in the villages with the high asking prices are properly following the rule above.
