In tough times when interest rates rise, for any family with a mortgage the value of continuing to own a family bach that's effectively keeping the family in debt comes into serious question. The trouble is with so many people seeing their mortgage costs rise so dramatically I would think there will be a lot of families asking whether its better if they sell the bach and extinguish their mortgage.  I would think its likely there will be a significant imbalance between sellers and buyers in the foreseeable future as we move from an era of free money to one where reality bites quite hard.
