My point is that the financial position of someone who pays $500k for an asset is not the same as the financial position of a person who pays $375k for that exact same asset. The cash flows may be, but not the future potential appreciation. Given your assertion, to the extreme, it seems you would argue that a property that can be bought at $50k at a very high interest rate would be equal to the same property bought at $500k at a very low interest rate. The future appreciation potential of the two scenarios is not the same.

If you were going to prepay a loan or pay it down quicker, say in 5 years, would you rather have low interest rates or low home prices?
