I did not know that, but I don’t think it matters. If you have 3 houses, even if they’re worth less, you have a place to live and the possibility to house 2 other families/even more. That is wealthy in my opinion, and it doesn’t really matter how much it “values” at.
It matters when all 3 of them are mortgaged and the mortgages are now more than their actual value.
(Before you blame the buyers for being dumb, realise that due to cultural context and other factors, pretty much the entire middle class is in this short of situation).
