This makes sense but historically rates go up because there is inflation which
means prices are increasing including houses. So while looking at things in isolation increasing rates should mean decreased housing prices but that is only one of many factors and not what happened in the past because we had high interest rates due to inflation. Real prices adjusted for inflation may decrease but it is unlikely nominal prices will decrease with increasing interest rates.

We did see real prices decrease with the housing crash but at that time we also saw rates decrease. Prices in the 70s with high interest rates saw high price appreciation. If we have a recession than prices may go down but it won't be because interest rates are high because high interest rates don't happen in a recession.
